What two molecules were condensed in an aldol condensation to produce (ch3)3cch=chcoch3?
1 answer:
The given compound is being synthesized by condensing Acetone and Pivaldehyde (Trimethylacetaldehyde).
First Acetone is treated with Base, the base abstracts the mildly acidic proton present at alpha position to carbonyl group. The resulting specie called enolate act as a nucleophile and attacks on highly reactive aldehyde which upon dehydration yields the Aldol Product. The Reaction is as follow,

Explanation:
Strength of intermolecular forces depends on the number of carbon atoms present in a compound. More is the number of carbon atoms attached linearly to each other more will be the surface area occupied by it. Hence, more is the strength of the compound.
This means that more is the branching present in a compound or lesser is the number of carbon atoms present in it then less will be the strength of intermolecular forces in the compound.
Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are placed in order of decreasing strength of intermolecular forces as follows.

Answer:
d. a) no change in the equilibrium and
b) equilibrium shifts towards products.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, for the reaction:
Which is endothermic due to the positive enthalpy of reaction. In such a way, based on the Le Chatelier's principle which states that increasing the temperature of an endothermic chemical reaction shifts the equilibrium towards products as heat is understood as a reactant, we can see, this is the case.
Moreover, since the change in the number of gaseous moles in the chemical reaction (coefficients balancing the reaction) is 0 (1+1-1-1), we can see that increasing the total pressure does not have any effect over equilibrium.
Therefore answer is d. a) no change in the equilibrium and b) equilibrium shifts towards products.
Best regards!
