What are the chemical tests to distinguish between 2 pentanone and 3 pentanone?

Do an iodoform test. Use an aqueous solution of iodine and potassium iodide added to basic solutions of 2-pentanone and 3-pentanone.The iodoform reaction is a classical test for methyl ketones. A light-yellow precipitate of iodoform forms immediately with the methyl ketone of 2-pentanone.To confirm:1H NMR3-pentanone will show only 2 signals: a triplet at ~1.33 and a quartet at ~2.352-pentanone will show 4 signals: a triplet at ~0.90, a sextet at ~1.55, a singlet at ~2.05 and a triplet at ~2.40

Ketones or Aldehydes DO NOT react with Sodium Bicarbonate..generally only Carboxilic acids have the ability to do it!


What kinds of alcohols can be used to prepare ketones?

Secondary and tertiary alcohols can form ketones. A primary alcohol will form an aldehyde.


Is methyl octane alcohol alkane or alkenes?

Alcohol is an Oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbonyl group. As such, there is no such thing as 'Methyl Octane Alcohol'. However, there is Methyl Alcohol and Octyl Alcohol. Please edit your question. Also: If you are asking if Methyl Alcohol is miscible (dissoluble) in octane, it is. Alkanes are hydrocarbons only, so both octane and the methyl group in methanol (methyl alcohol) are alkanes.


What is the chemical name for frankincense?

Frankincense is an organic resin, and a mixture of many chemicals - oils, boswellic acids, ketones and gum. It is therefore impossible to give a 'chemical name' for frankincense itself, only its many components.

Why this test is positive only for ketos?

Do you mean ketones? Ketones are a by-product of fat breakdown. When a person is not eating enough carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, potatos) for their energy needs the body starts using its fat stores for energy and ketones show in the urine. It may also be a sign of diabetes. If I haven't answered the question you asked please ask as something different.
