Answer:
β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.
Explanation:
When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.
Answer:
The reaction will be spontaneous
Explanation:
To determine if the reaction will be spontaneous or not at this temperature, we need to calculate the Gibbs's energy using the following formula:
<u>If the Gibbs's energy is negative, the reaction will be spontaneous, but if it's positive it will not.</u>
Calculating the :
Now, other factor we need to determine is the sign of the S variation. When talking about gases, the more moles you have in your system the more enthropic it is.
In this reaction you go from 7 moles to 8 moles of gas, so you can say that you are going from one enthropy to another higher than the first one. This results in:
If the variation of S is positive, the Gibbs's energy will be negative always and the reaction will be spontaneous.
A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)
So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)
³⁵Cl⁻¹
B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule
C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable
D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration
