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

4 0

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.

The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa

In Part A, you found the amount of product (1.80 mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Par

Finger [1]

First step is to balance the reaction equation. Hence we get P4 + 5 O2 => 2 P2O5

Second, we calculate the amounts we start with

P4: 112 g = 112 g/ 124 g/mol – 0.903 mol

O2: 112 g = 112 g / 32 g/mol = 3.5 mol

Lastly, we calculate the amount of P2O5 produced.

2.5 mol of O2 will react with 0.7 mol of P2O5 to produce 1.4 mol of P2O5.

This is 1.4 * (31*2 + 16*5) = 198.8 g
