The OH group of ethanol, a tiny polar molecule, forms a hydrogen bond with water.

Since hexanol is a long-chain alcohol, it is insoluble, just like the majority of higher alcohols.

Dimethyl ether and phenol are marginally soluble.

The reaction mechanism for aldol condensation is depicted in the image below, which shows that an alpha-hydrogen must be present on the alpha-carbon in order for the hydroxide ion to attack.

An aldehyde or ketone reacting with a cyanide anion or nitrile to produce cyanohydrin is known as a cyanohydrin reaction.

Although this nucleophilic addition reaction is reversible, equilibrium favors the reaction products when aliphatic carbonyl compounds are present. Trimethylsilyl cyanide, potassium cyanide, or sodium cyanide can all be the source of cyanide.

Acetaldehyde, an aldehyde, can be created by oxidizing ethanol. An oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate or chromium trioxide, can be used to carry out the oxidation. Diethyl ether, 2-ethanolic acid, and 2-ethanolate are the other alternatives; none of them have a functional group that can oxidize to produce an aldehyde.

The aldol condensation reaction occurs in aldehydes with alpha hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen atoms that are directly joined to the carbon atoms next to the carbonyl carbon are known as alpha hydrogens. Because they contribute to the creation of the enolate intermediate, a crucial stage in the reaction, these alpha hydrogens are necessary for the mechanism of aldol condensation.

C is the right choice.

In order to prevent further oxidation to acetic acid, acetaldehyde is rapidly distilled off in the laboratory after formation. The molecule acetaldehyde is comparatively unstable and readily oxidizes to acetic acid. Acetic acid is less likely to break down and is a more stable molecule.

Acetaldehyde will oxidize to acetic acid if it is not rapidly distilled off. By employing a reducing agent, like sodium sulfite, to stop the oxidation, this can be avoided. This isn’t always feasible, though, so it’s usually simpler to just distill the acetaldehyde as soon as it forms.

An oxygen atom singly bound to two alkyl or aryl groups or chains R-O-R is known as an ether’s functional group.

A is accurate since an acetal is created when alcohol is added to aldehyde.

This reaction, which is known as the addition of hydrogen cyanide, is an example of a base-catalyzed reaction. It first uses mineral acid to create cyanohydrin, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid.

The general formula for aldehydes is CnH2n+2CHO.

Remember that every aldhyde has a CHO group at the terminal carbon.

Aldehydes can be oxidized by both mild and strong oxidizing agents listed in the options because they always have one -H attached, which means there is less stearic hindrance than with ketones.

“All of these” is the right choice, as stated in the explanation above.

Acetaldehyde will hydrolyze when Grignard reagent (RMgX) is added, producing secondary alcohol. Alcohol is essentially created when these organometallic compounds react with aldehyde’s C=O bonds and break them.

Primary alcohol is produced when RMgX reacts with formaldehyde, whereas tertiary alcohol is produced when it reacts with a ketone.

is accurate since the “one” suffix is used for ketone in iupac naming.The line is PTB.

Sulfite ions are created when sodium bisulphite ionizes. Because the sulphur atom is more nucleophilic than oxygen, the sulphite ions function as a nucleophile and form a C-S bond. In order to create a bisulphite addition product, a proton is joined to the negatively charged oxygen atom.

R-CHO or R-COH is the general formula for the aldehyde group. With the formula HCOH, formaldehyde is the most basic aldehyde.

The carbonyl group (C=O) is a functional group found in aldehydes and ketones. Two aryl or alkyl groups are joined to the carbonyl carbon (RCOR’) of a ketone. Acetone, which has two methyl groups joined to the carbonyl carbon (CH3COCH3), is the most basic ketone.

Similar to a ketone, an aldehyde has at least one hydrogen atom (RCOH or R-CHO) attached to the carbonyl carbon rather than two side groups. Formaldehyde (HCOH), which has two hydrogen atoms attached to the carbonyl group, is the most basic aldehyde. Like the simple molecule acetaldehyde, which has one hydrogen and one methyl group (HCOCH3), all other aldehydes have one hydrogen bonded to the carbonyl group.

is accurate since symmetrical ketones always result in a mixture of two carboxylic acids and only one carbon atom next to the carbonyl group is oxidized. This is written in PTB as well.

Acetaldehyde is the byproduct of the breakdown of calcium acetate and calcium formate when they are distilled together. With the chemical formula C2H4O, acetaldehyde is an organic compound that is frequently utilized as a precursor to other chemicals. Option B is therefore accurate.

Formalin is composed of 52% water, 8% methanol, and 40% formaldehyde.

Lactose and formaldehyde combine to form mint.

Option D, “All of these,” is the right response because aldol condensation requires all of the previously listed conditions (α-C, α-H, and a basic medium).

The carbonyl group’s sigma bond between the carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms is slightly skewed in favor of the oxygen atom. A partial positive charge on carbon and a partial negative charge on oxygen are the results of this distortion, which is caused by the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen.

Aldol condensation is what’s happening here. Aldol and ketol are produced by a reaction between two molecules of the same or different carbonyl compounds that contain alpha hydrogen. It occurs in a mildly alkaline environment.

The oxidation of a secondary alcohol into a ketone is the reaction described above. For reagent X, an oxidizing agent must be selected. ‘Potassium dichromate (VI)’ is an oxidizing agent, so option B is the answer.

‘Potassium manganate (VII)’ is another possible response, but none of the options make reference to it. Alcohols are not oxidized by the other choices.

Acetaldehyde is polymerized to paraldehyde when concentrated H2SO4 is present.

Acetaldehyde + conc. H2SO4 = paraldehyde

When the carbonyl group in a ketone has two identical alkyl groups attached to it, the ketone is said to be “symmetrical.”

For instance, the two alkyl groups that are joined to the carbonyl carbon in acetone (CH3COCH3) are methyl groups (CH3). Acetone is a symmetrical ketone because both groups are identical.

A ketone with identical alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl is therefore appropriately referred to as “symmetrical.”

Methanal, also known as formaldehyde, is an organic compound that occurs naturally and has the formula CH₂O and the structure H−CHO.

The carbonyl system increases the carbonyl carbon’s electrophilicity in nucleophilic addition reactions that are catalyzed by acids. Because of the higher electronegativity of oxygen, the presence of the carbonyl group, which is made up of a carbon-oxygen double bond (C=O), partially charges the carbon atom. Because of this, nucleophiles—species with a lot of electrons looking for a positive center to bond with—can attack the carbonyl carbon. By protonating the carbonyl oxygen, the acid-catalyzed conditions further increase this electrophilicity by increasing the positive charge on the carbonyl carbon, which makes it more appealing to nucleophiles.
