Butanoic Acid is converted to Butanal in two steps;

Step 1: Conversion of Butanoic Acid into Butyryl Chloride:

Butanoic Acid when treated with Thionyl Chloride gives Butyryl Chloride, SO₂ and HCl gases. This step is selected due to conversion of a bad leaving group (-OH) into a good leaving group (-Cl).

Step 2: Conversion of Butyryl Chloride to Butanal:

In this reaction the Butyryl Chloride is reduced to Butanal by treating Butyryl Chloride with a mild reducing agent i.e. <span>Lithium tri </span>tert-<span>butoxy aluminum hydride.</span>

The rate of reaction was measured during a chemical reaction. After the first 3 seconds, the rate of reaction was 1.8 x10-6 M/s.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The rate would be lower and the concentration of reactants would be lower.

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the rate constant and the concentration of reactants.

For Ex:

For a reaction experimentally given by A + B ----> C + D

Rate = k[A][B]

where k is the rate constant

          [A] = concentration of reactant A

          [B] = concentration of reactant B

As the reaction proceeds,the concentration of reactant decrease and concentration of products increase.Rate constant k depends only on temperature and activation energy.Hence it will remain constant throughout the reaction assuming that reaction is carried out at constant temperature and pressure.

Hence rate will depend only on concentration of reactants and hence decrease with decrease in concentration of reactants.
