(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The target molecule transformation should be draw and identified given the starting molecule of aldehyde under the reduction process.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation Reaction: Generally alcohol can be oxidizing to aldehyde or ketone and aldehyde can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids.

Reduction Reaction: This process in which any substance atoms, ion or molecule gains one or more electrons it is called reduction.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine give the reactions indicate which direction represents reduction and which represents oxidation.

Concept Introduction:

Carbonyl group: This group presence of a (C=O) distinguished carbonyl compounds other organic compounds, carbonyl compounds are then classified according to what is bonded to the carbonyl carbon.

Oxidation Reaction: Generally alcohol can be oxidizing to aldehyde or ketone and aldehyde can be further oxidized to carboxylic acids.

Reduction Reaction: This process in which any substance atoms, ion or molecule gains one or more electrons it is called reduction.
