What is the equilibrium constant for this reaction?arrow_forwardChoose the best explanation for why these compounds are all less than fifteen carbons. A) Aldehydes with longer alkyl chains become increasingly nonpolar and the LDF are stronger than hydrogen bonding with ethanol. B) Ethanol molecules will hydrogen bond with the oxygen of the aldehydes. However, longer alkyl chains interrupt the ability of the aldehyde to hydrogen bond with ethanol which decreases the solubility. C) Ethanol molecules will form strong LDF interactions between the alkyl chains of the aldehydes and the alkyl groups of ethanol. The strong attractions cause the aldehydes to precipitate out of solution. D) When aldehydes chain length increases, the aldehydes have stronger intermolecular force with the small ethanol solvent molecules than the ethanol-ethanol intermolecular force.arrow_forward
