Hygroscopic nature of NaOH is the main reason for the lower concentration of the sodium hydroxide in the solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- It is a well known fact that Sodium hydroxide pellets are hygroscopic in nature, which clearly means that the sodium hydroxide pellets absorbs moisture from the air, so that it becomes deliquescent.
- When the NaOH crystals are weighed, the crystals absorb moisture from the surroundings, and so the weight of the crystals may change, so the concentration of the solution was lower than the required one.So it is not possible to prepare NaOH solution under normal room temperature.
- So, while preparing the solution of NaOH we have to be more careful.
Addition of water to an alkyne gives a keto‑enol tautomer product and that is the product changed into 2-pentanone, then the alkyne need to had been 1-pentyne. 2-pentyne might have given a combination of 2- and 3-pentanone.
<h3>
What is the keto-enol means in tautomer?</h3>
They carries a carbonyl bond even as enol implies the presence of a double bond and a hydroxyl group. The keto-enol tautomerization equilibrium is depending on stabilization elements of each the keto tautomer and the enol tautomer.
- The enol that could provide 2-pentanone might had been pent-1- en - 2 -ol. Because an equilibrium favors the ketone so greatly, equilibrium isn't an excellent description.
- If the ketone have been handled with bromine, little response might be visible because the enol content material might be too low.
- If a catalyst have been delivered, NaOH for example, then formation of the enolate of pent-1-en - 2 - ol might shape and react with bromine.
- This might finally provide a bromoform product. Under acidic conditions, the enol might desire formation of the greater substituted enol constant with alkene stability.
