Question

what is the action of sodium hypolodite on Acetone​

Answer 1

Answer:

it is commercially known as urotropine and is used as urinary antiseptic

Acetone reacts with sodium hypolodite to form iodoform .it is a test for methyl ketones

Answer 2

Answer:

Acetone is oxidised by sodium hypoiodite, resulting in a yellow precipitate of iodoform and a sodium salt of acetic acid. The reaction is attached as an image.

Let's talk about what the above response is called and how it works.

Explanation:

The reaction between sodium hypoiodite and acetone is known as 'Haloform reaction'.

What is Haloform Reaction?

1. The haloform reaction is performed to identify the molecule's group.
2. Aldehydes and ketones undergo haloform reactions, yielding the matching haloform as well as sodium salts of carboxylic acids with one C-atom fewer than the parent molecule.
3. When treated with a solution of hypohalite,

• sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)
• sodium hypobromite (NaOBr) or
• sodium hypoiodite (NaOI)
• methyl ketones or
• methyl carbonyl

undergo haloform reaction, yielding corresponding haloform

• chloroform (CHCl₃)
• bromoform (CHBr₃) and
• iodoform (CHI₃)

as well as with sodium salts of carboxylic acids comprising one C-atom less than their corresponding parent methyl ketone or carbonyl.

Reaction of Acetone with Sodium Hypoiodite

• When methyl ketone is heated in the presence of sodium hydroxide and iodine, a yellow precipitate is formed.
• The reagent sodium hypoiodite is created on-situ in this situation.
• During the reaction, the sodium salt of the carboxylic acid, which has one less carbon than the substrate, is formed.
• Haloform (CHX₃) is formed from the methyl group.
• Acetone is oxidized by sodium hypoiodite to produce yellow iodoform precipitate and sodium salt of acetic acid.

The reaction is attached as an image.
