Question

write the chemical equation of preparing acestone and write it's four properties.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Lab method: By oxidation of 2-propanol

CH₃CH(OH)CH₃ + Δ → CH₃COCH₃

By reductive oxidation:

CH₃CH=CH₂ + O₃ + H₂/Pd → CH₃COCH₃

Properties:

• It's a colorless liquid with a particular smell.
• Boiling point of acetone is 56 C.
• Mixible with water, benzene, and methanol.
• It is used as a solvent because of its ability to dissolve in polar and non-polar solvents.
