discussion of reactions involving aldehydes

Two molecules of an aldehyde or a ketone having at least one a -hydrogen atom condense in the presence of a dilute acid to give a b -hydroxyaldehyde or b -hydroxy - keton..

Aldehydes differ from ketones in their oxidation reactions. Aldehydes are easily oxdised to carboxylic acids on treatment with common oxidising agents like nitric acid, potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate etc. Aldehydes are easily oxidised to carboxy..

Reduction Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones - Aldehydes and ketones can be reduced to a variety of compounds under different conditions with different reducing agen..

Reactions Involving A Slow Step - If k 1 is very much less than k 2 that is k 1 << k 2 then the intermediate B is transformed into the product C as soon as it is formed. In such cas..

On hydration silicates and aluminates of calcium get converted to their respective hydrated colloidal gels. At the same time, hydrolysis precipitates calcium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide. This calcium hydroxide binds calcium silicate particles together. On the other hand, alumi..

Acetic acid ionizes in polar media to give hydrogen ion that is responsible for its acidic behaviour. Accordingly, acetic acid can react with alkalis and alkali metal carbonates and also with metal..
