What classification of alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone?
A secondary alcohol undergoes oxidation to yield a ketone; a primary alcohol forms an aldehyde instead, and a tertiary alcohol usually does not form either a ketone or an alcohol, because the carbon having the OH group in a tertiary alcohol already has three bonds to other carbon atoms and therefore cannot form a double bond to oxygen without more extensive breaking of other bonds in the tertiary alcohol.
Is Methyl Ethyl Ketone a CFC?
A chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, contains chlorine, fluorine and carbon. MEK (CH3COCH2CH3) contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It's not a CFC.
What do Aldehydes and ketones both contain?
Every aldehyde and ketone contains a carbonyl bond which is >C=O , and at least one carbon atom (and a ketone must have at least three carbon atoms).
What product contains carboxylic acid?
reducing a carboxylic acid directly forms an aldehyde, but further reduction forms a primary alcohol reducing a ketone forms a secondary alcohol oxidation reverses these processes primary alcohol -> aldehyde -> carboxylic acid secondary alcohol -> ketone
What functional group can you get after the oxidation of a hydroxyl group?
if the alcohol is a primary alcohol the itis oxidized to give aldehyde and if secondary it gives ketone.
Which functional groups are present in carbohydrates?
alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone.
What is the secondary alcohols are oxidized?
Mild oxidation of a secondary alcohol will produce a ketone; strong oxidation, such as burning, can produce carbon dioxide and water.
Reaction between alcohol and fehling's solution?
a red precipitate is formed which indicates the presence of aldehyde.

A chlorofluorocarbon, or CFC, contains chlorine, fluorine and carbon. MEK (CH3COCH2CH3) contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It's not a CFC.
What happens when alcohol has been oxidised?
oxidation of alcohol results in the formation of various carbonyl compounds, depending upon the structure of alcohol. For example, oxidation of secondary alcohol results in the formation of ketone, while that of primary alcohol forms aldehyde and further oxidation forms carboxylic acids.
What is the result when you reduce a ketone?
A Secondary Alcohol When reduced with something like lithium aluminum hydride, a ketone results in a secondary alcohol.
What do Aldehydes and ketones both contain?
Every aldehyde and ketone contains a carbonyl bond which is >C=O , and at least one carbon atom (and a ketone must have at least three carbon atoms).
What happens to aldehyde when it reacts with fehlings solution or tollens solution?
Aldehyde are oxidised to the corresponding carbonic acid by F.'s or T.'s agents. Ketone can not be oxidised.
What product contains carboxylic acid?
reducing a carboxylic acid directly forms an aldehyde, but further reduction forms a primary alcohol reducing a ketone forms a secondary alcohol oxidation reverses these processes primary alcohol -> aldehyde -> carboxylic acid secondary alcohol -> ketone
What is the product when secondary alcohol is oxidized?
ketone
Acetone contains which functional group?
This is actually an organic chemistry question, but it is a Methyl Ketone.
