Acetone is a three-carbon aldehyde. True/False.

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: acetone is a ketone and not an aldehyde. Therefore it's false

Explanation:

Acetone is of structure CH3-CO-CH3

which makes it a ketone.

Both aldehyde and ketone have a carbonyl group but there is difference between aldehyde and ketone.

Aldehydes have a general formula R-CHO

where R is a methyl group including H atom, and CHO is the functional group.

While

Ketone have the general formula R-CO-Ri

where R and Ri are methyl groups excluding H atom, and CO is the functional group.

Hint: ketones usually end with the suffix "one" as in acetone.

What's the valency of lead in pbO2​
Andru [333]

The valence of lead is 4.

Hence the name of the compound is called Lead (IV) oxide.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

PbO₂ compound

Required

The valence of Pb

Solution

The oxidation number of element O in the compound = -2, except for OF₂ the oxidation state = + 2 and the peroxides (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) the oxidation state = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.

The oxidation state in the uncharged compound = 0,

So The oxidation state of Pb :

Pb + 2.(-2) = 0

Pb - 4 = 0

Pb = +4

how many moles of hydrogen are evolved when an excess of sodium metal is added to one mole of citric acid?
vova2212 [387]
The formula of citric acid is:

           CO2H
           |
HO -  C - CH2CO2H
          
|
          C - CH2 CO2H



I bolded the 4 hydrogens that can be subsituted by sodium.


Three of those hydrogens belong to carboxyl group (- CO2H) and one to a hydroxyl group (- OH).


You need to take into account that 4 H will form 2 H2 molecules.


So, the answer is that 2 moles of molecules will be formed from 1 mole of citric acid molecules.
