Will the reaction between the functional isomers of a carbonyl compound with molecular formula C 3 H 6 O and HCN lead to the completion with the conversion of whole reactant into product at reaction conditions? and If a strong acid is added to the reaction mixture what will be the effect on concentration of the product and why?
Options
- ANo, It is a reversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is established. Addition of acid inhibits the reaction beca
- BNo, It is a reversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is established. Addition of acid enhances the reaction beca
- CNo, It is an irreversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is not established. Addition of acid inhibits the reacti
- DYes, It is an irreversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is established. Addition of acid enhances the reaction
Correct answer
A. No, It is a reversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is established. Addition of acid inhibits the reaction beca
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) No, It is a reversible reaction. Hence equilibrium is established. Addition of acid inhibits the reaction because the formation of –CN ions is prevented
