A proton transfer reaction can occur when an aldehyde is placed in strong base, such as an alkoxide ion, producing an alcohol an

d a charged conjugate base that is resonance stabilized. In the left box, draw the curved arrows for the proton transfer. In the middle and right boxes, draw the two structures for the resonance-stabilized product as noted in the box-specific directions. Be sure to include all lone pairs and nonzero formal charges.

Hi, you have not provided structure of the aldehyde and alkoxide ion.

Therefore i'll show a mechanism corresponding to the proton transfer by considering a simple example.

Explanation: For an example, let's consider that proton transfer is taking place between a simple aldehyde e.g. acetaldehyde and a simple alkoxide base e.g. methoxide.

The hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to aldehyde group are most acidic. Hence they are removed by alkoxide preferably.

After removal of proton from aldehyde, a carbanion is generated. As it is a conjugated carbanion therefore the negative charge on carbon atom can conjugate through the carbonyl group to form an enolate which is another canonical form of the carbanion.

All the structures are shown below.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Slime mold or slime mould is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but can aggregate together to form multicellular reproductive structures. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of that kingdom.

What is the mass percentage of O in C₂H₄O₂? Provide an answer to two decimal places.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

53.29%

Explanation:

The molar mass of C2H4O2 is 60.05g and the 2 O's are 32.00g

so 32.00/60.05= 0.53288925895

and that as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredths is 53.29%
