Question

this passage describes a chemical reaction. read the passage. then, answer the question below. strawberry aldehyde (c₁₂h₁₄o₃) is a chemical that helps give strawberries their smell. many people enjoy this smell, so strawberry aldehyde is often added to perfumes and soaps. factories can make this fragrant chemical by combining acetophenone (c₈h₈o) with ethyl chloroacetate (c₄h₇clo₂). this combination forms strawberry aldehyde and hydrochloric acid (hcl). making fragrant chemicals like strawberry aldehyde in a factory is often less expensive than extracting the same chemicals from plants. in the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are products? select all that apply.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify key - sentence

The sentence "Factories can make this fragrant chemical by combining acetophenone ($C_8H_8O$) with ethyl chloroacetate ($C_4H_7ClO_2$). This combination forms strawberry aldehyde ($C_{12}H_{14}O_3$) and hydrochloric acid ($HCl$)." indicates reactants and products.

Step2: Determine products

Reactants are combined to form products. Here, acetophenone and ethyl chloroacetate are reactants, and strawberry aldehyde and hydrochloric acid are products.

Answer:

strawberry aldehyde ($C_{12}H_{14}O_3$), hydrochloric acid ($HCl$)
