The aldol reaction is catalyzed by acid as well as base. What is the reactive nucleophile in the acid-catalyzed aldol reaction

Chemistry

svp [43]3 years ago

Answer:

The reactive nucleophile is Ketone.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, The process of acid - catalyzed aldol condensation starts from when ketone (or any aldehyde) is converted to an -enol, after which it attacks another ketone/aldehyde that has already been activated by parbonyl oxygen protonation.

The process of this is that first of all the ketone undergoes tautomerization to form -enol. Thereafter, the other carbonyl will undergo protonation which makes the carbon activated towards attack. Now, the nucleophilic enol will be added to the carbonyl in a [1,2]-addition reaction and we will now use deprotonation to obtain the neutral Aldol product.

Now, since only the ketone can produce an -enol, thus it is the nucleophile as aldehydes are better electrophiles

A galvanic cell is powered by the following redox reaction:2Fe+3(aq) + H2 (g) + 2OH−(aq) → 2Fe+2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)Answer the follo
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Anode: H₂(g) + 2 OH⁻(aq) → 2 H₂O(l) + 2 e⁻

Cathode: 2 Fe⁺³(aq) + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe⁺²(aq)

E° = 1.60 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction taking place in a galvanic cell.

2 Fe⁺³(aq) + H₂(g) + 2 OH⁻(aq) → 2 Fe⁺²(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

The corresponding half-reactions are:

Anode (oxidation): H₂(g) + 2 OH⁻(aq) → 2 H₂O(l) + 2 e⁻   E°red = - 0.83 V

Cathode (reduction): 2 Fe⁺³(aq) + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe⁺²(aq)        E°red = 0.77 V

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.77 V - (-0.83 V) = 1.60 V

Aluminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al(s) 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s) What mass of Al2O3, in grams, can
algol [13]

Answer:

8.66 g of Al₂O₃ will be produced

Explanation:

4Al (s) + 3O₂ (g)  → 2Al₂O₃ (s)

This is the reaction.

Problem statement says, that the O₂ is in excess, so the limiting reactant is the Al. Let's determine the moles we used.

4.6 g / 26.98 g/mol = 0.170 moles

Ratio is 4:2.

4 moles of aluminum can produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃

0.170 moles of Al, may produce (0.170  .2)/ 4 = 0.085 moles

Let's convert the moles of Al₂O₃ to mass.

0.085 mol . 101.96 g/mol = 8.66 g

solmaris [256]

Answer:

gamma rays > X-rays > ultraviolet radiation > visible light > infrared > radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that require no material medium for propagation. They can travel through space and they all move at the speed of light.

Electromagnetic waves are composed of both electric and magnetic fields which are mutually at right angles to each other.

The order of decreasing energy of electromagnetic waves is;

gamma rays > X-rays > ultraviolet radiation > visible light > infrared > radio waves.
