When 2-phenylacetaldehyde is added dropwise to benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide they undergo a crossed aldol rea
ction to form 3-hydroxy-2,3-diphenylpropanal?
1 answer:
Carbonyl Compounds containing alpha proton readily donates alpha acidic proton when treated with strong Base. In given statement <span>2-phenylacetaldehyde is converted into Enolate and Enolates acts as a nucleophile and attacks carbonyl group of Benzaldehyde. The mechanism of given reaction is as follow, the movement of electrons is shown by RED arrows,</span>

Work done by me for using force of 4 N to push an object 3 m away is 12 J.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Work done on any object is defined as the force required to displace that object from its original position. In other terms, the work done is the measure of force utilized for moving an object. So mathematically it is represented as the product of force with the displacement of the object due to that force.
Then, here it is given that force of about 4 N is used to displace the object to 3m. Thus,
So, 12 J of work is done by me to push an object 3 m away with the force of 4 N.
