1. What causes the change in the color of the ferrox paper?
2. Write the structural formulas of acetone, hexane, ethyl alcohol and the major component of kerosene
Answers
(1) Answer:- Monochloroacetic acid
The acetone absorbed the color of the ferrox paper and the color of the paper faded. Observation: ... Observation: The red litmus paper turned to blue.
1) Ferrox paper changes color due to the presence of iron ions in the paper. When the paper is exposed to an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, the iron ions are oxidized from Fe2+ to Fe3+, causing a change in color from pale yellow to dark brown. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the amount of iron present in the paper and the concentration of the oxidizing agent.
2) The structural formulas of acetone, hexane, ethyl alcohol, and the major component of kerosene are:
Acetone: CH3COCH3
Hexane: CH3(CH2)4CH3
Ethyl alcohol (also known as ethanol): CH3CH2OH
Major component of kerosene (a mixture of hydrocarbons): typically a blend of straight-chain and branched-chain alkanes and cycloalkanes with 10 to 16 carbon atoms.
It's worth noting that the major component of kerosene can vary depending on the source and the refining process used to produce it. Therefore, a single structural formula cannot accurately represent the entire composition of kerosene.
