Select the reason why two molecules of benzaldehyde cannot react via the aldol condensation.

Chemistry

Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.

How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 159 grams

Explanation:

Copper (ii) oxide has the chemical formula CuO.

Now given that:

Mass of CuO in grams = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Number of moles = 2.00 moles

Molar mass of CuO = ?

For the molar mass of CuO: Atomic mass of Copper = 63.5g ; Oxygen = 16g

= 63.5g + 16g

= 79.5 g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)

2.00 moles = (Z / 79.5 g/mol)

Z = 79.5 g/mol x 2.00 moles

Z = 159g

Thus, there are 159 grams in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
