Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 7RAT
Explain why caprylic acid, CH3(CH2)6 COOH, dissolves in a 5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide but caprylaldehyde, CH3(CH2)6CHO, does not.
- (a) With two oxygens, the caprylic acid is about twice as polar as the caprylaldehyde.
- (b) The caprylaldehyde is a gas at room temperature.
- (c) The caprylaldehyde behaves as a reducing agent, which neutralizes the sodium hydroxide.
- (d) The caprylic acid reacts to form the water-soluble salt.

One way to determine a structural defect model (such as that shown in the figure below for a solid solution of Al2 O3 in MgO) is to make careful density measurements.

Mg2+
o Vacancy
A substitutional solid solution of Al½O3 in MgO is not as
simple as the case of NiO in MgO. The requirement of charge
neutrality in the overall compound permits only two Al+ ions
to fill every three Mg²+ vacant sites, leaving one Mg²+
vacancy.
What would be the percent change in density for a 5 mol % solution of Al2 O3 in MgO (compared with pure, defect-free MgO)?
Express your answer to three significant figures.
