<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Percent of oxygen in air = 21 %

Mole fraction of oxygen in air = \frac{21}{100}=0.21

To calculate the partial pressure of oxygen, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{O_2}=p_T\times \chi_{O_2}

where,

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of oxygen = ?

p_T = total pressure of air = 760 mmHg

\chi_{O_2} = mole fraction of oxygen = 0.21

Putting values in above equation, we get:

p_{O_2}=760mmHg\times 0.21\\\\p_{O_2}=160mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen is 160 mmHg

Select the reason why two molecules of benzaldehyde cannot react via the aldol condensation.
Lesechka [4]
Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.
