Question

write the name of one method to prepare acetone and write its chemical equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acetone can be prepared by oxidation of Isopropyl alcohol.

Properties of acetone-

-It is colourless and volatile.

-Acetone is miscible in water and acts as an important solvent

-It has low viscosity

-It can dissolve other substance very easily.

Answer 2

Method: 30-40 gm of calcium acetate mixed with equal amount of sodium acetate is heated in a glass retort fitted with a condenser and receiver. Acetone is collected in the receiver. The acetone so obtained is not pure.

Acetone can be prepared from following methods:

Dry distillation of Calcium Acetate. (CH3COO)2CaΔ CH3COCH3

By oxidation of 2-propanol. CH3CH(OH)CH3Δ CH3COCH3

By dehydration of 2-propanol. CH3CH(OH)CH3Cu/573K CH3COCH3

By reductive oxidation of 2-propene.
