A proton transfer reaction can occur when an aldehyde is placed in strong base, such as an alkoxide ion, producing an alcohol an
Pani-rosa [81]

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.

The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called  NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures  an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

The products in a decomposition reaction _____.
alex41 [277]
I believe the answer is  <span>can be elements or compounds
In this case, elements in the decomposition reaction is the substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances.
Compounds, technically act as a reactant in the decomposition reaction, but since the reaction breakdown one substance into two or more, sometimes it exists in the product.</span>

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.
