Answer 2

Ethylene glycol ketals are formed on the reaction of acetone with ethylene glycol in presence of hydrochloric acid.

• Acetone is a ketone with a molecular formula $CH_{3} COCH_{3}$.
• Ethylene glycol is a diol with the formula, $CH_{2} (OH)-CH_{2} (OH)$.
• Ketones react with polyalcohols to form cyclic structures called ketals.
• One mole of ethylene glycol consumes one mole of acetone to form ethylene glycol ketal.
• The chemical reaction requires an anhydrous acid catalyst like hydrogen chloride gas.
