Discussion: I want to explain what happened in this reaction Experimental 6. Synthesis of dibenzalacetoneThe Claisen Schmidt reactionThe Claisen-Schmidt reaction refers specifically to the synthesis of a,ß-unsaturated ketones by the condensation of an aromatic aldehyde wilt aketone. As the aromatic aldehyde possesses no hydrogens a- to the carbonylgroup, it cannot undergo self-condensation but reacts readily with the ketonepresent. The initial aldol adduct cannot be isolated asif dehydratesspontaneously under the reaction conditions but thea,ß-unsaturated ketone soproduced also possesses activated hydrogensand may condense with a furthermolecule of benzaldehyde. In the following experiments, conditions will bechosen to optimize formation of the mono- and bis-adducts respectively andthey will be differentiated by their physical and spectroscopic properties. Inthe first experiment the acetone is used in a large excess in order to minimizethe second condensation step. In the second experiment the benzaldehyde ispresent in twofold excess and sufficient ethanol is added to the reactionmixture to keep the initial condensation product in solution long enough toreact with a second molecule of benzaldehyde.Reaction:СНОH3C`CH; • (1 equiv.)`CH3aq.

Question: Consider a hypothetical chemical reaction between compound A and compound B. The reaction is exothermic and yields compound C and compound D as products. The reaction mechanism involves multiple elementary steps. Based on this information, answer the following questions: Define the terms "exothermic reaction" and "endothermic reaction" and provide an example of each. Explain the concept of a reaction mechanism and why it is important in understanding chemical reactions. Outline the steps involved in determining the rate-determining step in a reaction mechanism. Describe how a catalyst affects the rate of a chemical reaction and provide an example of a catalyst commonly used in industrial processes. Given that the reaction between compound A and compound B is exothermic, suggest one possible reason why the reaction might still have a high activation energy.
