Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main product when propanal is treated with sodium bisulfite? (2019)
  • Step 1: Identify the starting material, which is propanal. Propanal is an aldehyde with the formula C3H6O.
  • Step 2: Understand that sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) is a reagent that reacts with aldehydes.
  • Step 3: When propanal is treated with sodium bisulfite, a reaction occurs where the bisulfite ion (HSO3-) adds to the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde.
  • Step 4: This addition forms a new compound called a bisulfite adduct.
  • Step 5: The bisulfite adduct is a characteristic product formed from the reaction of aldehydes with sodium bisulfite.
