<u><em>The process of how we would obtain </em></u><u><em>ethanal</em></u><u><em> </em></u><u><em>free</em></u><u><em> from ethanol is described in the explanations below. </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

  • In Chemistry, Ethanol undergoes oxidation in the presence of sodium dichromate plus sulphuric acid to yield ethanal and water.

The procedure for achieving this in the laboratory is as follows;

  • Step 1; Measure a quantity of a solution of sodium dichromate acidified in a dilute sulphuric acid and pour into a test tube.

  • Step 2; Add excess <em>ethanol</em>. This is because if we don't do so there will be plenty of oxidizing agent to carry out a second operation which changes the aldehyde to ethanoic acid. However, we need only the aldehyde.

  • Step 3; When the aldehyde ethanal begins to form which will be evident by the change in the colour of solution from <em>orange to green</em>, then the mixture should be distilled from the test tube and tbethe aldehyde collevted so that it doesn't undergo additional oxidation into ethanoic acid.

Answer:

Ethanol is oxidised by acidified sodium dichromate in a test tube reaction, firstly to form ethanal (acetaldehyde), and with further oxidation, ethanoic acid (acetic acid)

Procedure

Place about 3 cm3 of acidified sodium dichromate solution in a boiling tube.

Use a teat pipette to add 5–7 drops of ethanol, with shaking.

Cool the mixture in the tube under a tap. Note the sweetish smell of ethanal (acetaldehyde) at first, then becoming sharper as oxidation continues and forms ethanoic acid (acetic acid).

When the reaction has subsided, the mixture can be warmed gently; the smell of ethanoic acid will become more noticeable.

A chemical compound that contains the –NH2 functional group is a(n) _____.
kirill115 [55]
This represents a primary amine. An amine has a nitrogen group that is connected to three substituents via single bonds. The number of carbon-based substitutents determines whether it is primary, secondary, or tertiary. In this case, since 2 substitutents are just hydrogen atoms, and only one has a carbon-based skeleton, this is a primary amine.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
It’s the third one because Cl has 17 protons bc of the numeric number and 18 electrons bc it’s always the opposite and 18 neutrons because you subtract 35-17=18

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.
