A Cannizzaro reaction is the disproportionation of an aldehyde into an alcohol and carboxylic acid.


What happens to aldehyde when it reacts with fehlings solution or tollens solution?

Aldehyde are oxidised to the corresponding carbonic acid by F.'s or T.'s agents. Ketone can not be oxidised.


Is formic acid an Aldehyde or a Carboxylic acid?

Formic acid is methanoic acid. A carboxylic acid.


Is it easier to oxidize an alcohol or an aldehyde?

The oxidation product of an aldehyde will depend on whether the conditions are acidic or alkaline. The aldehyde will oxidize to a carboxylic acid if it is acidic. If it is alkaline, the aldehyde will form a salt because the acid would react.


Equation for aldehyde plus acidified potassium permanganate?

Aldehyde + Acidified potassium permanganate (KMnO4) undergoes oxidation, resulting in the formation of a carboxylic acid. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: Aldehyde + 2[KMnO4] + 3[H2SO4] → Carboxylic acid + 2[MnSO4] + K2SO4 + 3[H2O].


Which functional group will not be found on a carbohydrate molecule A Aldehyde B Carboxylic acid C Hydroxyl D Ketone?

It sort of depends on how restrictive your definition of "carbohydrate" is. If you're using it in a way synonymous with "saccharide" (common, but not necessarily the only possible definition), then they will have hydroxyl groups and might have either an aldehyde or a ketone group (or they may not, for example glucose in its hemiacetal form), but they will not have a carboxylic acid group.


Which is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of glucose to gluconic acid?

Glucose oxidase that converts the carbonyl (aldehyde) carbon of glucose to a carboxylic acid.


What is an aldonic acid?

An aldonic acid is any of a class of polyhydroxy carboxylic acids derived from an aldose by oxidation of the aldehyde functional group.
