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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]4 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.

Determine the molar solubility of pbso4 in pure water. ksp (pbso4 = 1.82 × 10-8.
Semenov [28]
Salts dissociate when dissolved in water:

PbSO4 -> Pb2+ + SO4 2-

So there are 2 different particles. 1 mol of PbSO4 produces 1 mol of Pb2+, and 1 mol of SO4 2- (one of each).

Kps = [Pb2+] [SO4 2-]

We will call “s” the molarity of PbSO4

So the molarity of Pb2+ is also “s” (same number)

And the molarity of SO4 2- is also “s” (same number)

Kps = s*s = s2

1.82 × 10-8 = s2

So, in order to find s, we have to make the square root of 1.82 × 10-8, which is: 0,00013491 M
