Draw one of the stereoisomers of the product formed when benzaldehyde (c6h5cho) is treated with ph3p═chcooch3.
1 answer:
This reaction is known as Wittig Reaction. A powerful reaction for the synthesis of Alkene. In question the starting materials are aldehyde and a Phosphorous Ylide. Ylide when reacted with aldehyde produces a four membered ring which on rearrangement gives Alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Phosphorous having great affinity toward the oxygen is the driving force of this rearrangement. The reaction along with product (highlighted blue) is as follow,

Answer: a. The concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values
Explanation:
The reactions which do not go on completion and in which the reactant forms product and the products goes back to the reactants simultaneously are known as equilibrium reactions. For a chemical equilibrium reaction, equilibrium state is achieved when the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to rate of the backward reaction.
Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time and are constant.
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.
For a equilibrium reaction,
Thus the correct answer is the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values.
