the former answer is incorrect.

While Acetone is clearly a reactant and it is used to dissolve the 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, it is NOT a reducing agent. To say it is a reducing agent is to say it OXIDIZES the compound. Only later when the leuco-indigo in the fabric does oxygen act as the reducing agent and oxidize the indigo, setting it in the fabric.

What do you get when you combine acetone and hydrogen peroxide?

The acetone and hydrogen peroxide would react with each other to make the high explosive acetone peroxide. An acid such as hydrochloric is commonly used in the synthesis of acetone peroxide, which speeds up the formation if it.

Yes, one practical purpose of DNA is protein synthesis


What is the purpose of the cDNA synthesis?

The purpose of cDNA synthesis is to synthesize a copy of DNA from mRNA. This means that it is involved in the duplication of DNA that occurs when a cell divides. As a result, without cDNA synthesis, life would not exist as cells would not be able to divide.


What is the function acetone?

Acetone has various functions. It can be used as a powerful solvent for cleaning beakers, desks etc. It can have dry ice added to it in order to cool a reaction down to approx -70 degrees centigrade. It can be used as a solvent in some synthesis or as a reagent its self.


In nondividing cells DNA synthesis occurs?

no. the purpose of dna synthesis is to ensure transmission of genetic material to new daughter cells.


Can you use acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover to thin nail polish?

You can use acetone to thin nail polish, but it may be harsher and can potentially alter the formula of the polish. Non-acetone nail polish removers are safer but may not be as effective in thinning out the polish. It's best to use a nail polish thinner specifically designed for this purpose.


Synthesis of acetonedicarboxylic acid?

Acetonedicarboxylic acid can be synthesized by reacting acetone with sodium cyanide to form acetone cyanohydrin, followed by hydrolysis to yield acetone dicarboxylate. The dicarboxylate can then be hydrolyzed to form acetonedicarboxylic acid. Alternatively, it can also be prepared by reacting ethyl acetate with sodium cyanide to form diethyl acetonedicarboxylate, which can then be saponified to yield acetonedicarboxylic acid.

Does acetone reacts with acetone?

No, because when you add acetone to acetone, all you are doing is adding more of the volume of acetone to acetone. You are just changing the amount of acetone, not anything chemically happening.


Why must acetone peroxide be chilled in the making process?

If you want to kill yourself, don't chill it. The reason why you must chill the acetone peroxide during the synthesis of it is because cooling it allows it to form the trimmer of acetone peroxide. Which is more stable than the dimer, which is formed if it is not cool enough. And I was joking about the first part. Don't EVER not chill the acetone peroxide when you make it. Ever. If the dimer is formed by this process, it could explode when you are filtering it, or even when you move the solution a little. It's really hard for me to stress all the dangers of making acetone peroxide.


How many type of acetone?

Yes, mainly there are 3 types of acetone: regular acetone, acetone with enriched formula, maximum strength acetone.
