Answer:

Solid metal

Explanation:

The reduced form of metal ions is the metal in elemental state (simple substance). So, if you have a solution with metal ions and they are reduced, you probably will see the deposition of the metal. For example: if you have a solution with sodium ions (Na⁺), and the ions are then reduced, you will see the aparition of a solid phase of metallic sodium (Na(s)), according to the following half-reaction:

Na⁺ + e- → Na(s)

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

Lesechka [4]

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.

Consider the equilibrium reaction. 2 A + B − ⇀ ↽ − 4 C After multiplying the reaction by a factor of 2, what is the new equilibr

vredina [299]

Answer : The correct expression for equilibrium constant will be:

$K_c=\frac{[C]^8}{[A]^4[B]^2}$

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$4A+2B\rightleftharpoons 8C$
