Q1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The carbonyl groups in aldehydes and ketones can be oxidized to form the next \u201coxidation level\u201d compound-carboxylic acid. Adding water to an aldehyde or ketone produces a product called a hydrate or gemdiol (two OH groups on one carbon). The reaction is catalyzed by acids and bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference between carboxylic acid derivatives and aldehydes and ketones is that there is a group containing a negatively charged heteroatom (usually oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur), which is directly connected to the carbonyl carbon atom. You can think of carboxylic acid derivatives as bilateral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared with the alkyl groups of ketones, aldehydes are more acidic (lower pKa) than ketones due to the lower electron donating effect of protons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Schiff test is a chemical test used to check the presence of aldehydes in a specific analyte by reacting the analyte with a small amount of Schiff reagent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solid aldehyde can be dissolved in ether and purified as described above. Alternatively, they can be steam distilled, then sublimated and crystallized from toluene or petroleum ether.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
