What happens to the ph of the reaction mixture as the oxidation reaction proceeds in an oxidation of an aromatic side chain?
1 answer:
Answer:
The pH decreases.
Explanation:
Hello,
In organic chemistry, oxidation accounts for either the increasing of C-O bonds or the increasing in the oxygen atoms into the molecule. Thus, if we consider the oxidation from benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid, there will be a carboxyl functional group instead of a hydroxile one. Now, the presence of the polar -O-H bonds that are ionizable, there will be a releasing causing the pH to decrease (increase acidity).

20.(45)L or about 20.4545L
Explanation:
PV = nRT
Where:
P - pressure
V - volume
n - number of particle moles
R - a constant
T - temperature in K
We can assume the P and n (and definitely R) stay the same, so we infer that
