Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the acid, we can suppose a simple dissociation as:
Which occurs in aqueous phase, therefore, the law of mass action is written by:
That in terms of the change due to the reaction's extent we can write:
But we prefer to compute the Kb due to its exceptional weakness:
Next, the acid dissociation in the presence of the base we have:
Whose solution is which equals the concentration of hydroxyl in the solution, thus we compute the pOH:
Finally, since the maximum scale is 14, we can compute the pH by knowing the pOH:

Answer:
β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.
Explanation:
When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.
