Hi everybody,
The question is from the A level CIE India Chemistry paper 9701/42 2016
4 (a) Ethanal, CH3CHO, dimerises in alkaline solution according to the following equation.
2CH3CHO → CH3CH(OH)CH2CHO
The initial rate of this reaction was measured, starting with different concentrations of CH3CHO
and OH–. The following results were obtained.
