What are the conditions needed for reaction to happen in aldehydes and ketones?

miv72 [106K]

Explanation:

You may not realise it, but you come across aldehydes and ketones many times a day. Take cakes and biscuits, for example. Their golden, caramelised crust is formed thanks to the Mailliard reaction. This is a process that occurs at temperatures above 140° C, when sugars with the carbonyl group in foods react with nucleophilic amino acids to create new and complex flavours and aromas.

Another example is formaldehyde. Correctly known as methanal, it is the most common aldehyde in industry. It has multiple uses, such as in tanning and embalming, or as a fungicide. However, we can also react it with different molecules to make a variety of more useful compounds. These include polymers, adhesives and precursors to explosives. But how do aldehydes and ketones react, and why?You should remember from Aldehydes and Ketones that they both contain the carbonyl functional group , . This is a carbon atom joined to an oxygen atom by a double bond. Let's take a closer look at it.

If we compare the electronegativities of carbon and oxygen, we can see that oxygen is a lot more electronegative than carbon.

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2N

Montano1993 [528]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Urea (CH₄N₂O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) with carbon dioxide as follows: 2NH₃(aq) + CO₂(aq) → CH₄N₂O(aq) + H₂O(l) In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 135.9 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 178.0 kg of urea.

Determine the limiting reactant. (express your answer as a chemical formula)

Answer: The limiting reactant is ammonia $(NH_3)$
