Question

Use the drop-down menus to classify each of the following as an addition, substitution, elimination, or

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3 - addition

CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2 - elimination

CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br - substitution

2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20 - condensation

Explanation:

An addition reaction is a reaction in which a specie is added across the double bond as we can see in CH3CHO+H2O → CH3OCH3.

In an elimination reaction, a small molecule is lost from a saturated compound to form the corresponding unsaturated compound as in CH,CICH CI + Zn → C2H4 + ZnCl2

In a substitution reaction, a chemical moiety replaces another in a molecule as in; CH3CH3Br + OH – CH3CH3OH + Br .

A condensation reaction is in which two molecules are joined together to form a bigger molecule as in; 2CH2COOH >>(CH3CO)20 + H20.
