1.

Distinguish between the following : (a) CH_(3) COCH_(2) CH_(3) and CH_(3) CH_(2) CH_(2) CHO (b ) Ethanal and ethanoic acid

Answer»

Solution :DISTINGUISH between
(a) `CH_(3) COCH_(2) CH_(3)` and `CH_(3) CH_(2) CH_(2) CHO :`
`CH_(3) COCH_(2) CH_(3)` will GIVE a yellow precipitate of `CHI_(3)` when treated with NaOI `( I_(2) //NAOH )`
`CH_(3) COCH_(2) CH_(3) overset( NaOI) (rarr) underset("Iodoform")(CH_(3) CH_(2) COONa) + CHI_(3)`
(b) ETHANAL and ethanoic acid `:`
Ethanoic acid will give an effervescence of `CO_(2)`when treated with a solution of `NaHCO_(3)` Ethanal will not.
`CH_(3) COOH + NaHCO_(3) rarr CH_(3) COONa + CO_(2) + H_(2) O`
