Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we are asked to compute the by mass percent for the given 3.2 g of ethylene glycol in 43.5 g of water. In such a way, since the by mass percent is computed as follows:
Whereas the solute is the ethylene glycol and the solvent the water, therefore we obtain:

Here we have to draw the mechanism of the reduction reaction between benzaldehyde and sodium borodeuteride to form the corresponding alcohol.
The reducing agent sodium borodeuteride can reduce the aldehydes to its corresponding alcohol. The reaction mechanism is shown in the attached image.
The reaction mechanism can be explained as-
The sodium borodeuteride is highly ionic in nature thus it remains as Na⁺ and BD₄⁻ The deuterium atom of BD₄⁻ attack the carbonyl carbon atom and substitute one of its deuterium as shown in the figure.
One molecule of sodium borodeuteride can reduce four molecules of benzaldehyde. The polar solvent like alcohol donates the proton as shown in the mechanism.
The converted alcohol contains the deuterium atom at the -C center. Thus benzaldehyde is converted to deuteroted benzyl alcohol.
