y alpha carbon are present in acetone

Answer:
Carbons 1 and 3
Explanation:
We must remember that by definition <u>alpha carbon</u>s are the carbon (or carbons) next to the carbon that contains the main group. In this case, the main group is the carbonyl group (C = O) in the middle of the molecule. In the acetone molecule, we have three carbons, the carbons neighboring the carbon of the carbonyl group (carbon two) will be the <u>alpha carbons</u>. (Red and blue carbons or carbons one and three)
See figure 1 for further explanations.

Answer: 52.8 g of
Explanation:
To calculate the moles, we use the equation:
a) moles of octane
b) moles of oxygen
According to stoichiometry :
2 moles of require 25 moles of
Thus 0.150 moles of require=
of
Thus is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and
is the excess reagent.
As 2 moles of give = 16 moles of
Thus 0.150 moles of give =
of
Mass of
Thus 52.8 g of will be produced from the given masses of both reactants.
