How acetic be converted to acetone
​

Oxidation,Ca(OH)

2

,Heat

solution

Answer 2

Answer:

Acetic acid is first converted to its calcium salt by neutralising it with quick lime.

2CH3COOH + CaO = Ca(CH3COO)2 + H2O

Solid (pure) calcium acetate on dry distillation yields acetone by decomposition.

Ca(CH3COO)2 = CH3COCH3 + CaCO3

Acetone is usually prepared in the laboratory by the dry distillation of calcium acetate.

Explanation:

In the above equation (see the attachment) we can see that Acetic acid is first converted to calcium salt when neutralizing it with quick lime. Calcium acetate on dry distillation yields Acetone by the decomposition. Acetone is usually prepared in the laboratory by the dry distillation of calcium acetate.
