Tollens\' reagent, [Ag(NH3)2] , is used to test for the presence of aldehydes. The reaction results in reduction of the silver i
on to form a mirror of silver metal. Concurrently, the aldehyde is oxidized. Draw the structure of the organic product resulting from treatment of 3-methylbutanal with Tollens\' reagent, followed by treatment with acid.
1 answer:
Answer:
On the attached picture
Explanation:
Hello,
As long as the addition of the Tollen's reagent turn out in to the oxidation of the aldehyde, the formed product will be its corresponding carboxylic acid, this is 3-methylbutanoic acid whose structure is shown on the attached picture in the form of the oxidation reaction.
Best regards.

Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced chemical equation for reaction of potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and potassium carbonate will be:
