Practice mode Aldehydes and Ketones

What mass of copper(I) oxide (M = 143 g/mol) forms when 0.050 mol of ethanal reacts completely with Fehling’s solution?

Correct answer C. 7.15 g

Explanation

One mole of aldehyde reduces two Cu²⁺ ions, giving one mole of Cu₂O. So 0.050 mol ethanal gives 0.050 mol Cu₂O, and mass = 0.050 × 143 = 7.15 g.
