(a)
Interpretation: The more highly oxidized compound is to be identified.
Concept Introduction: In the process of oxidation, oxygen or any other electronegative element is added, and hydrogen or another electropositive element is removed. The process of an atom or ion losing one or more electrons is known as oxidation, according to the electronic notion.
(a)
Answer to Problem 110A
Ethanal is more highly oxidized compound.
Explanation of Solution
The compound that is highly oxidized can be detected with the help of its structure.
The compound that has a low number of hydrogen atoms has the tendency to get more oxidized.
The structure of ethanol and ethanal is given below:
In ethanol, there are six hydrogen atoms.
In ethanal, there are four hydrogen atoms.
Since ethanal has few number of hydrogen atoms, it is highly oxidized.
