![**Question: Give the name of the missing organic reactant in the following reaction.**
**Reaction:**
\[ ? + 2 \text{Ag(NH}_3\text{)}_2^+ + 3 \text{OH}^- \rightarrow \]
\[ \rightarrow \text{compound} + 2 \text{Ag} + 4 \text{NH}_3 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
**Explanation of the reaction:**
On the reactant side, there is an unknown organic reactant (\(?\)). Additionally, there are 2 equivalents of \(\text{Ag(NH}_3\text{)}_2^+ \), and 3 equivalents of \(\text{OH}^-\).
On the product side, there is a carboxylate ion attached to a benzene ring, represented as:
\[ \text{-C(O)O}^- \]
- Also present are 2 equivalents of silver (Ag), 4 equivalents of ammonia (\(\text{NH}_3\)), and 2 equivalents of water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)).
**Graph or Diagram Explanation:**
The reaction is a chemical equation involving organic and inorganic compounds. The diagram shows the conversion of an unknown organic reactant into a carboxylate ion, benzene, silver metal, ammonia, and water.
To identify the missing organic reactant, consider the transformation to the carboxylate group. The typical organic compound that undergoes such transformation includes an aldehyde group. The aldehyde reacts with \(\text{Ag(NH}_3\text{)}_2^+ \) in the presence of \(\text{OH}^- \) (Tollens' reagent) to form a carboxylate ion, solid silver, ammonia, and water.
Thus, the missing organic reactant is likely benzaldehyde (C₆H₅CHO).
- **Full Reaction:**
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CHO} + 2 \text{Ag(NH}_3\text{)}_2^+ + 3 \text{OH}^- \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COO}^- + 2 \text{Ag} + 4 \text{NH}_3 +](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1de2f3d6-8e87-4e49-9048-b5122ea4c8cd%2F901293ae-08cd-4455-91cd-8b1b281f604d%2F5hru9n_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
