Chapter 19, Problem 19.15P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

A curved-arrow mechanism corresponding to the hydroxide-catalyzed hydration of acetaldehyde is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical reaction in which a reactant combines with water molecule is known as hydration reaction. The addition of water with an unsaturated compound takes place to form a hydrated compound.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

A curved-arrow mechanism corresponding to the decomposition of acetone cyanohydrin in aqueous hydroxide is to be stated. The reason as to why the ketone-cyanohydrin equilibrium favors the ketone at high pH is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A chemical reaction in which a reactant breaks down to generate at least two products is known as decomposition reaction. The involvement of an energy source like heat also takes place in decomposition reaction.
