Concept introduction:
An acid-base reaction occurs through a transfer of proton from an acid to a base. The base gets protonated and the acid gets deprotonated. The reaction results in the formation of a conjugate acid and a conjugate base as the products. The type of products formed affects the direction of reaction at equilibrium.
Answer to Problem 20.27AP
The product formed when butyric acid reacts with aqueous
Explanation of Solution
When a carboxylic acid reacts with a base, the hydrogen atom is abstracted by the base and a salt of carboxylic acid is formed.
So, when butyric acid reacts with aqueous

Answer to Problem 20.27AP
The product formed when
Explanation of Solution
When an alcohol reacts with an aldehyde in presence of an acid catalyst, a hemiacetal is formed as an intermediate which further reacts to produce acetal with the release of water. The acidic catalyst is used because the alcohol is a weak nucleophile. So on addition of an acid, the oxygen of aldehyde gets protonated and a carbocation is formed. The alcohol easily attacks the carbocation to form the germinal diether derivative of aldehyde, that is, an acetal. When

- A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D.
