An aldehyde is an organic compound containing a terminal carbonyl group (C = O). This functional group, consisting of a carbon atom bound to a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom via double bond (the general formula: CHO) is called the aldehyde group. In a reaction of the addition of alcohol to the carbonyl group, it forms hemiacetals.
On the picture attached it is shown the reaction of alcohol addition to the carbonyl group with the major organic product <span>formed in the reaction.</span>
Answer is: 10 moles of water will be produced.
Balanced chemical reaction of formation of water:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
n(H₂) = 10 mol; amount of hydrogen gas.
From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂) : n(H₂O) = 2 : 2 (1 : 1).
n(H₂O) = n(H₂).
n(H₂O) = 10 mol; amount of water.
