Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the given reaction is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The vicinal diols, on reaction with ketone in the presence of acidic condition, forms an acetal.

The ketone protonates and forms hemiacetal by a nucleophilic attack of hydroxyl group of vicinal diol. The hemiacetal on protonation followed by nucleophilic attack of second hydroxyl group of vicinal diol forms acetal.

For each scenario below, select the color of the solution using the indicator thymol blue during the titration. When you first add indicator to your Na2CO3solution, the solution is basic (pH ~10), and the color is       ["", "", "", "", ""]  . At the equivalence point for the titration, the moles of added HCl are equal to the moles of Na2CO3. One drop (or less!) past this is called the endpoint. The added HCl begins to titrate the thymol blue indicator itself.  At the endpoint, the indicator color is       ["", "", "", "", ""]  . When you weren't paying attention and added too much HCl (~12 mL extra), the color is      ["", "", "", "", ""]  . When you really weren't paying attention and reached the second equivalence point of Na2CO3, the color is
