Yes, an OH group from ethanol can form a hydrogen bond to the ether O atom in the same way as it can do so with the single-bonded O atom in the ester.
The O atom in the carbonyl group of the ester can also form H-bonds with ethanol.
Answer: B or C
Explanation: The question does not include the variable or steps Brian is using so either one could be correct. It has to be the one that he is controlling though. This is because a control group is used to rule out any alternate explanations. Therefore the answer should be the one that he is trying to test out.
Answer:
Reducing sugars are absent
Explanation:
Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.
Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.
Answer: Lithium
Explanation:
The ratio for the reaction of Li and water is the same, but there are more moles of water than lithium. Therefore, lithium is the limiting reactant.
