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.
Answer:
5 atoms
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".
We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.
All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.
When organisms and plants died and sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans, brown soil-like materials called peat are formed. Over millions of years, the peat became covered with sand, clay and other minerals and the peat is converted into layers of sedimentary rocks. After a long time, different type of fossil fuels are formed.
Answer:
The correct answers are: <u>Each oxygen of carbonate ion has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>
<u>Bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion</u> = <u>1.33</u>
Explanation:
The carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is an organic compound, in which a carbon atom is covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The net formal charge on a carbonate ion is −2.
The carbonate ion is <u>resonance stabilized</u> and has three equivalent resonating structures, which exhibits that all the three carbon-oxygen bonds in a carbonate ion are equivalent.
In the resonance hybrid of carbonate ion,<u> the negative charge is equally delocalized on all the three oxygen atoms. </u>
<u>Thus, each bonded oxygen has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>
<u />
In a carbonate ion there is one double bond oxygen (C=O) and two single bonded oxygen (C-O). Bond order of 1 C=O is 2 and bond order of C-O is 1.
∴ <u>Bond order</u> = sum of all bond orders ÷ number of bonding groups = (2+1+1) ÷ 3 = <u>1.33</u>
Answer: a) anode
b) positive
c) cathode
d) anode to cathode
Explanation:
Galvanic cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.
In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode. Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.
Due to loss of electrons at anode, positive charge in concentrated in anode and negative charge is concentrated in cathode. To balance these charges , positive ions or cations from salt bridge move towards cathode and negative ions or anions from salt bridge move towards anode.
The balanced two-half reactions will be:
Oxidation half reaction :
Reduction half reaction :
Thus the overall reaction will be,
