We are asked to provide an equation for the transformation of 2-phenylethanoic acid to 2-phenylethanol. This type of a reaction is converting a carboxylic acid to an alcohol, which is classified as a reduction reaction since we are decreasing the number of bonds to oxygen in the molecule. In order to reduce a carbonyl to an alcohol, we need a source of hydride, H⁻. Reducing the carboxylic acid once will convert it to the aldehyde. However, we need to reduce the functional group all the way down to an alcohol, which is another reduction step after aldehyde formation. Therefore, the hydride source of choice is lithium aluminum hydride, LiAlH₄.

A reaction scheme is provided to show the reaction of the reduction of carboxylic acid to alcohol. The first step is addition of lithium aluminum hydride which does the reduction, and the second step is a work-up of acid which protonates the alcohol to get the final product.

You find that 7.36g of a compound has decomposed to give 6.93g of oxygen. The only other element is hydrogen. If the molar mass
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The molecular formula of this compound is H_{2}O_{2}

Explanation:

From the given,

Mass of compound = 7.36 g

Molar mass of compound = 34.0 g/mol

The mass of oxygen = 6.93 g

The hydrocarbon contains only hydrogen and carbon.

Mass of hydrogen + Mass of oxygen = 7.36 g

Mass of hydrogen + 6.93 g = 7.36 g

Mass of hydrogen = 7.36 - 6.93 = 0.43g

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1.0 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Number\,of\,moles\,of \,Oxygen=6.93g\times\frac{1}{16}=0.43mol

Number\,of\,moles\,of \,hydrogen=0.43g\times\frac{1}{1}=0.43mol

Now divided each one by 0.43

Oxygen:

\frac{0.43}{0.43}=1

Hydrogen :

\frac{0.43}{0.43}=1
