When ketone is reacted with phosphorous pentachloride, chlorination takes place at the carbonyl carbon with substitution of the oxygen atom to give a geminal dichloride (with 2 Cl atoms on same carbon) according to the following equation:
so we can say that acetone is converted into 2,2-dichloropropane by action of PCl₅

The protons inside an atoms nucleus help bind the nucleus together. They also attract the negatively charged electons
The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.
<h3>
Molecular mass of potassium carbonate</h3>
The molecular mass of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;
M = K₂CO₃
M = (39 x 2) + (12) + (16 x 3)
M = 138 g
mass of carbon in potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is = 12 g
The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;
138 g ------------ 12 g of carbon
2.25 g ------------ ?
= (2.25 x 12) / 138
= 0.196 g
Thus, the mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.
