Concept Introduction:
Oxidation Reaction: Generally alcohol can be oxidizing to aldehyde or ketone and aldehyde can be further oxidized to
Reduction Reaction: This process in which any substance atoms, ion or molecule gains one or more electrons it is called reduction.
(a)
Answer to Problem 15.20UKC
The hydride added to the carbonyl carbon, the polar (C=O) carbon has a partial positive charge, then the reduction process has
Explanation of Solution
Reduction reaction: The given carbonyl molecule is converted into alcohol (b) in this undergoes for reduction process was occurred. The hydride ion added to the carbonyl carbon, because carbonyl carbon is polar it as partial positive charges in carbon atom.

- in which of the following alternatives is the greatest amount of energy released from the hydrogenation of:a) 1 mole propeneb) 1 mole of butadiene 1.3c) 1 mole pentyn-2d) 3 moles of ethenearrow_forwardConsider the reaction: H O C—C—C—SCOA H₂C(CH₂)C= CO H H₂C-(CH₂) What kind of reaction is being performed here? b. What enzyme performs this reaction? OH H O O=C -C—C—C—SCOA H H c. What cofactors, if any, are required for this reaction?arrow_forwardOne biochemical strategy of many living organisms is the stepwise oxidation of organic compounds to CO₂ and H₂O and the conservation of a major part of the energy thus produced in the form of ATP. It is important to be able to recognize oxidation- reduction processes in metabolism. Reduction of an organic molecule results from the hydrogenation of a double bond (Eqn 1) or of a single bond with accompanying cleavage (Eqn 2). Conversely, oxidation results from dehydrogenation. In biochemical redox reactions, the coenzymes NAD and FAD dehydrogenate/hydrogenate organic molecules in the presence of the proper enzymes.
