The chemistry of acetyl chloride is not as a methyl ketone but as an acyl halide. All the action is on the carbon atom with the oxygen and chlorine. In the haloform reax the methyl carbon gets attacked losing a proton, picking up a halide and leaving an OH behind to form an acid and a haloform.

When Chlorine and Sodium collide this will happen?

When chlorine and sodium collide, a chemical reaction will occur in which they will combine to form sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt. This reaction is highly exothermic, releasing a significant amount of energy as heat and light. The resulting compound, sodium chloride, is stable and does not exhibit the properties of its constituent elements.


Is ammonium chloride magnetic?

No, ammonium chloride is not magnetic. It will not be attracted to magnets. Ammonium chloride is made up of the elements nitrogen, hydrogen and chlorine.


What is the color of chloride?

Chloride ions typically do not have a color on their own, as they are colorless in nature. However, certain metal chlorides can exhibit different colors, such as copper chloride (blue-green) or iron chloride (yellow-brown).


What is one property which is shown by ammonium chloride but not by sodium chloride?

Ammonium chloride can undergo sublimation, meaning it can change from a solid directly to a gas without passing through a liquid state. Sodium chloride does not exhibit sublimation behavior.


Is common salt BASIC acidic or neutral in nature?

Common salt, or sodium chloride, is neutral in nature. It does not exhibit acidic or basic properties.


Why does solution of Sodium Chloride not show Tyndall effect?

The key word here is "solution". Solutions do not exhibit the Tyndall effect; if something does exhibit the Tyndall effect, that's a good indication that it is not a solution.


Is chloride magnetic?

1: Chloride is not a substance that occurs on its own, it is an ion formed by the element chlorine. 2: Neither chlorine nor chlorides (substances containing the chloride ion) are magnetic.


What would happen if sodium chloride is taken instead of ammonium chloride during sublimation of ammonium chloride?

The experiment will not work because sodium chloride does not sublime. Ammonium chloride appears to sublime upon heating. However, this process is actually decomposition into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. NH4Cl + heat → NH3 + HCl (Wikipedia)


Is SrCl2 an acid?

SrCl2 is not an acid. It is the chemical formula for strontium chloride, which is a salt composed of the metal strontium and the chloride ion. Acids are substances that can donate hydrogen ions in a solution, while salts like SrCl2 do not exhibit acidic properties.


Are copper and gold eutectic?

No, copper and gold do not form a eutectic system. They have a limited solubility in each other but do not exhibit a eutectic reaction.


What colour is H2O plus ZnCL2 solution?

The color of a solution containing H2O and ZnCl2 would likely be clear or colorless. Both water and zinc chloride are transparent substances, so the solution would not exhibit a distinct color.


Why aspirin gives voilet clr with ferric chloride?

Ferric chloride, or iron(III) chloride will not react with aspirin. It will, however, react with salicylic acid, which is used to synthesize aspirin. In this light, adding an aqueous ferric chloride solution to a sample of aspirin is a good way to see if there is any unreacted salicylic acid. A purple color is an indication of salicylic acid. A sample of pure aspirin should not exhibit any color change.
