Why doesn't benzaldehyde undergo a self aldol condensation?

1 answer:

5 0

Actually the main reason being benzaldehyde completely lacks alpha hydrogen within its whole structure and then this alpha hydrogen is the only hydrogen adjacent to the carbon from the carbonyl group, hence it will not undergo a self aldol condensation at all.

Solid Al(NO3)3 is added to distilled water to produce a solution in which the concentration on nitrate, [NO3^-], is 0.10 M. What

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The concentration of nitrate ion $NO_{3}^{-}$ is 0.033 M.

Explanation:

$Al(NO_{3})_{3} \rightarrow Al^{3+} + NO_{3}^{-}$

1 mole of $[Al^{3+}]$ = 3 mole $NO_{3}^{-}$

Let $[NO_{3}^{-}]$ = 3y

then according to above reaction,

$[Al^{3+}]$ = y

$[NO_{3}^{-}]$ = 0.10 M (given)

$[Al^{3+}]$ = ?

3y = 0.10 M

$y = \frac{0.1}{3}$

y = 0.033 M

So ,concentration of $[Al^{3+}]$ = y = 0.033 M

The element chlorine has two stable isotopes, chlorine-35 with a mass of 34.97 amu and chlorine-37 with a mass of 36.95 amu. Fro

sergejj [24]

Answer: One isotope has a percentage abundance of 75.75 % and the percentage abundance of another isotope is 24.24%.

Explanation:

We are given the two stable isotopes of chlorine with their respective masses. The average atomic mass of chlorine is also given.

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu.

Let us assume the fractional abundance of one isotope be 'x' and the fractional abundance for another isotope will be (1 - x) because the total fractional abundance is always equal to 1.

For Chlorine-35 isotope:

Fractional abundance = x

Mass = 34.97 amu

For Chlorine-37 isotope:

Fractional abundance = 1 - x

Mass = 36.95 amu

The formula for the calculation of average atomic mass is given by:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$35.45=34.97(x)+36.95(1-x)\\\\35.45=34.97x+36.95-36.95\\\\-1.5=-1.98x\\\\x=\frac{-1.5}{-1.98}=0.7575$

$1-x=1-0.7575=0.2424$

Converting these two fractional abundances into percentage abundances by multiplying it with 100.

$x=0.7575\times 100=75.75\%\\\\1-x=0.2424\times 100=24.24\%$

Hence, one isotope has a percentage abundance of 75.75 % and the percentage abundance of another isotope is 24.24%.

1. Which metal is the most reactive? How do you know this?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

cesium

Explanation:

The most reactive metal on the periodic table is francium. However, francium is a man-made element and only minute quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal is cesium. Cesium reacts explosively with water, though it is predicted francium would react even more vigorously.
