Predict the aldol product when the following ketone undergoes self-condensation in the presence of NaOH. Do not show the dehydra
ted product. Be sure to include all lone pairs in your product.
1 answer:
Answer:
β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.
Explanation:
When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.

Explanation:
The given data is as follows.
Vapour pressure of pure = 33.85 Torr
Temperature = 298 K
Mole fraction of = 122.36 torr
Therefore, calculate the vapor pressure of as follows.
Vapour pressure of = mole fraction of
x K of
= 0.050 x 122.36 Torr
= 6.118 Torr
So, vapor pressure of is 6.118 Torr
.
Now, calculate the vapor pressure of carbon tetrachloride as follows.
Vapour pressure of = mole fraction of
x Pressure of
= (1 - 0.050) × 33.85 Torr
= 32.1575 Torr
So, vapor pressure of is 32.1575 Torr .
Hence, the total pressure will be as follows.
= 6.118 Torr + 32.1575 Torr
= 38.2755 Torr
Therefore, composition of =
= 0.8405
Composition of is 0.8405
.
And, composition of =
= 0.1598
Composition of is 0.1598
.
