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

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.

7. Diethyl ether burns in air according to the following equation. C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l) If 7.15 L of CO2 is
iren [92.7K]

From the stoichiometry of the combustion reaction, we can see that 7.4 L of oxygen is consumed.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

Combustion is a reaction in which a substance is burnt in oxygen. The equation of the reaction is; C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l)

We can obtain the number of moles of CO2 from;

PV = nRT

n = 1.02 atm * 7.15 L/0.082 atm LK-1mol-1 * (125 + 273) K

n = 7.29 /32.6

n = 0.22 moles

If 6 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of CO2

x moles of oxygen produces 0.22 moles of CO2

x = 0.33  moles

1 mole of oxygen occupies 22.4 L

0.33 moles of oxygen occupies 0.33 moles *  22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 7.4 L of oxygen

Red light has a wavelength of about 6.5 x 10-7m. Find its frequency. Show all work.
ozzi
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).

c = v x f

We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.

2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.

How much heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C?
Rashid [163]

A. The heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is +33,400 J.

<h3>What is Specific heat capacity?</h3>

Specific heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature per unit mass.

<h3>Heat needed to melt the cube of ice</h3>

The heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is calculated as follows;

Q = mL

where;

  • m is mass of the ice
  • L is latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 J/g

Q = 100 x 334

Q = 33,400 J

Thus, the heat is needed to melt 100.0 grams of ice that is already at 0°C is +33,400 J.
