I'm pretty sure it's B)constructive
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.
Answer:
156.8kPa
Explanation:
The problem here is to convert mmHg to kPa;
We have been given:
1176mmHg and the problem is to convert to kPa;
1000Pa = 1kPa
1 mmHg = 133.322Pa
1176mmHg will give 1176 x 133.322 = 156787.1Pa
To kPa;
156.8kPa
Answer:
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
Explanation:
The reaction performed in the experiment is;
2 Cu(NO3)2 + 4 KI → 2 CuI (s) + 4 KNO3 + I2
The iodide ions reduces Cu^2+ to Cu^+ which is insoluble in water hence the precipitate. This is so because iodine is a good oxidizing agent seeing that it requires one electron to fill its outermost shell. Potassium on the other hand is a good reducing agent since it easily looses its one electron.
The oxidation - reduction equation is as follows;
2Cu2^+ + 2e ----> 2Cu^+ reduction half equation
2I^- ----> I2 + 2e. Oxidation half equation
Balanced redox reaction equation;
2Cu2^+ + 2I^- ----> 2Cu^+ + I2
