Draw the products of the complete hydrolysis of a ketal. draw all products of the reaction.

The main products obtained from complete hydrolysis of a ketal are ketone (90%) and hydrate (10%), we also obtained as byproducts two alcohols (ROH and ROH). See attached image

Explanation:

To understand this question, one has to know what a ketal is and also what is complete hydrolysis.

Ketal: functional group present in organic chemistry that has a central carbon attached to 2 R groups and 2 OR.

Hydrolysis: reaction of water with a molecule

We can observe in the diagram that this reaction is found in equilibrium, meaning that depending on the concentration of the diverse substrates and products, the reaction will favor the direction towards one or the other.

Note: In the last part of the reaction we can observe that the equilibrium favors the production of ketone over that of a hydrate. This occurs since a ketone is more stable than that of a hydrate (about 90% will be ketone while 10% will be a hydrate).

Evaporation: this is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). water vapour droplets join together to make clouds! condensation: this is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.
