Question

Which product is formed when the compound
CHO is treated with concentrated aqueous KOH
solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

CHO+KHO=CO2+H2+k

Explanation:

when CHO is treated with KOH

the reaction gives us hydrogen, carbon dioxide and potassium .

hydrogen can be used with oxygen to create a water molecule .

and carbon dioxide can be broken into carbon and oxygen and as we know oxygen is useful to all living organisms so it will be a great product.

Answer 2

The correct option is option D.

Explanation:

• The reactant is the benzaldehyde.

• The reagent is the concentrated potassium hydroxide.

• This reagent can cause two reactions on aldehyde - aldol condensation or cannizaro reaction.

• For aldol condensation, presence of alpha hydrogen is necessary.

• But in Benzaldehyde, there's no alpha hydrogen.

• So this leads to the cannizaro reaction.

• The cannizaro reaction leads to disproportionation of aldehyde into acid and alcohol.

• So the products formed are benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol.

• In presence of concentrated KOH, the acids will get into salt form, producing potassium benzoate, and potassium phenoxide.
