Can anyone explain oxidation, and reduction reactions of:

Chemistry
1 answer:
____ [38]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Reduction of Aldehydes and Ketones. Hydride reacts with the carbonyl group, C=O, in aldehydes or ketones to give alcohols. ... Reduction of ketones gives secondary alcohols. The acidic work-up converts an intermediate metal alkoxide salt into the desired alcohol via a simple acid base reaction.

The carbon atom of a carboxyl group is in a relatively high oxidation state. Diborane, B2H6, reduces the carboxyl group in a similar fashion. ... Sodium borohydride, NaBH4, does not reduce carboxylic acids; however, hydrogen gas is liberated and salts of the acid are formed.

Primary alcohols can be oxidized to form aldehydes and carboxylic acids; secondary alcohols can be oxidized to give ketones. Tertiary alcohols, in contrast, cannot be oxidized without breaking the molecule's C–C bonds.

A secondary alcohol can be oxidised into a ketone using acidified potassium dichromate and heating under reflux. The orange-red dichromate ion, Cr2O72−, is reduced to the green Cr3+ ion. This reaction was once used in an alcohol breath test.

For the reaction A(g)
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

By definition, the equilibrium constanct, Kc, for the reaction A ⇒ 2B is

= [A]^1 / [B]^2

Substitute [A] = 4 and [B] = 2 in the equation,

[A]^1 / [B]^2

= 4^1 / 2^2

= 1

= Kc

So yes the reaction is at equilibrium.

A specific brand of gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-gpiece. How many kilograms of dietary fa
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:  0.14 kg

Explanation:

Gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece

That is 1 piece of candy weighs 22.7 g and contains 7.00 g of dietary fat

Converting the mass in pounds to kg  

1 lb = 0.45 kg = 450 grams    (1kg=1000g)

Number of pieces = \frac{450}{22.7g}=20pieces

1 piece contains = 7 g of dietary fat

Thus 30 pieces would contain =\frac{7}{1}\times 20=140g of dietary fat

1 g = 0.001 kg

Thus 140 grams =\frac{0.001}{1}\times 140=0.14kg

Thus 0.14 kg of dietary fat are in a box containing 1.00 lb of candy.
