QAIPMT-2006-Ch-2406: NEET 2006 Chemistry - Class 12 AIPMT-2006-Ch-2406 Solution: Self condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate in presence of…
Self condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate in presence of sodium ethoxide yields
Multiple Choice Options
- A ethyl propionate
- B ethyl butyrate
- C acetoacetic ester
- D methyl acetoacetate
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
At anode : Fe _ Fe 2+ + 2e - ; E o = -0.441 V
At cathode : Fe 3+ + e � _ Fe 2+ ; E o = 0.771 V
Fe + 2Fe 3+ _ 3Fe 2+ ; E o = ?
To get the above equation, (ii) _ 2 � (i)
2Fe 3+ + 2e � _ 2Fe 2+ ; E o = 0.771 V
Fe _ Fe 2+ + 2e - ; E o = - 0.441 V
------------------------------------------------
Fe + 2Fe 3+ _ 3Fe 2+
E o = 0.771 + 0.441 = 1.212 V
