Answer:

a. acetal

Explanation:

In the presence of an acid, the alcohol molecules are aided to form a bond with the aldehydes in both two dimensional geometry and as a result of this bond formation an acetal forms.

Answer:

Explanation:

Acetals are geminal-diether derivatives of aldehydes or ketones, formed by reaction with two equivalents (or an excess amount) of an alcohol and elimination of water. Ketone derivatives of this kind were once called ketals, but modern usage has dropped that term.

To achieve effective hemiacetal or acetal formation, two additional features must be implemented. First, an acid catalyst must be used because alcohol is a weak nucleophile and second the water produced with the acetal must be removed from the reaction.

4. Cuál es la aplicación de las reacciones de óxido-reducción en la vida diaria y en la industria?

12345 [234]

Answer:

Dentro de las aplicaciones de la óxido-reducción se pueden encontrar:

La obtención del aluminio a partir de la alúmina y la electrolisis.
La obtención de cloro, hidrógeno e hidróxido de sodio a partir del cloruro de sodio y la electrolisis.
La combustión interna de un motor a gasolina u otro combustible fósil.
Las termoeléctricas, las cuales para generar energía realizan combustión de carbón.
La galvanoplastia, donde para evitar la corrosión de un metal se recubre con otro metal más resistente, por ejemplo: el recubrimiento del acero con zinc.
La pilas o baterías de las cuales se obtiene energía química.

Explanation:

Como puedes ver en la respuesta, la óxido-reducción tiene diversas aplicaciones en la vida moderna, desde todos los tipos de combustión los cuales sirven para brindar energía o movilizarte, hasta todas las funciones que se le ha dado a la electrolisis y a la obtención de la energía por medios químicos, incluso se puede considerar una aplicación de la óxido-reducción la incorporación de antioxidantes en los alimentos, los cuales disminuyen la velocidad de descomposición de los mismos.

Which statement describes a system that consists of sugar crystals dissolving in water?

trapecia [35]

To know the answer, you either know what is really the nature and chemistry of a sugar solution. You can also know the answer by knowing the meaning of entropy. Entropy is often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system. So the correct statement is that the system becomes more disordered and has an increase in entropy.
