Which statement best explains why aldehydes are generally less reactive than ketones? Aldehydes are less sterically hindered Aldehydes have one less electron donating alkyl group so the carbonyl C is a better electrophile. Both of the choices above: Aldehydes are less sterically hindered and they have one less electron donating alkyl group so the carbonyl C is a better electrophile. Ketones are generally more reactive than aldehydes.

Explain why 92% of 2,4-pentanedione exists as the enol tautomer in hexane but only 15% of this compound exists as the enol tautomer in water. The enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds both with hexane and water, but the keto tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with water only. Neither the keto nor the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with hexane, but the keto tautomer can form a hydrogen bond with water, which stabilizes it. The keto tautomer can form hydrogen bonds both with hexane and water, but the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with water only. Neither the keto nor the enol tautomer can form hydrogen bonds with hexane, but the enol tautomer can form an intramolecular hydrogen bond, which stabilizes it.
