What aldol product is formed when two molecules of butanal react together in the presence of base?

1 answer:

4 0

It is an example of Self Condensation reaction as both the nucleophile and the electrophile are the same compounds. When Butanal is reacted with base, the hydrogen at alpha position is abstracted due to its mild acidity and enolate is formed. Enolate attacks second Butanal molecule and forms a compound containing both Hydroxyl group and carbonyl group (Beta hydroxy aldehyde). Reaction is shown below and the name of product is specified below its structure,

Which change in the h+ ion concentration of an aqueous solution represents a decrease of one unit on the ph scale?

melisa1 [442]

The answer would be a tenfold increase<span>
The pH scale is calculated based on the concentration of H+ ion in the solution. The formula is using log10, so to decrease 1 unit from the scale it will be 10^1= 10 fold of increase. For 2 </span>unit, you will need 10^2= 100 fold of increase.

What is the equation for "acid dissociation constant" of "carbonic acid"

Margaret [11]

Answer:

H2CO3 = 2H+ + CO3-

Explanation:

It is simply what carbonic acid breaks down into when placed in water. Since carbonic acid is made up of H and CO3, these are the products.
