Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)
The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
Redox reaction is the reduction and oxidation reaction. It is a chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons. It can mean loss of oxygen (oxidation) or gain of electrons (reduction). Oxydation is the process of where a sustance loses electrons, gains an oxygen atom/s, loses a hydrogen atom/s. reduction is the opposite.
In a redox reaction, one of the reactants must release electrons.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ethers react with HI at high temperature to produce an alky halide and an alcohol.
R-OR' + HI ⟶ R-I + H-OR'
<em>Benzylic ethers</em> react by an Sₙ1 mechanism by forming the stable benzyl cation.
- PhCH₂-OR + HI ⟶ PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R + I⁻ Protonation of the ether
- PhCH₂-O⁺(H)R ⟶ PhCH₂⁺ + HOR Sₙ1 ionization of oxonium ion
- PhCH₂⁺ + I⁻ ⟶ PhCH₂-I Nucleophilic attack by I⁻
If there is excess HI, the alcohol formed in Step 2 is also converted to an alkyl iodide:
ROH +HI ⟶ R-I + H-OH
Thus, benzyl ethyl ether reacts to form benzyl iodide (a) and ethanol (b).
The ethanol reacts with excess HI in an Sₙ2 reaction to form ethyl iodide (c).
