Why doesn't acetyl chloride exhibit a haloform reaction even though it has a keto-methyl group?
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.
What is the heat of reaction for ethanol fermentation from glucose?
-1277.36kJ is the heat of combustion of ethanol. It is not the heat of fermentation for the production of ethanol.
Chemical formula for the reaction of ethanol and lucas reagent?
balanced equation for ethanol and lucas reagent
Is ethanol dissolving in water an exothermic reaction?
YesThe mixing of ethanol with water is an exothermic phenomenon.
Is ethanol a reactant or a product?
Your question is not right.ethanol is also know as ethyl alcohol. When you take the preparations of ethanol,here it acts as product example ethane reacts with water to give ethanol C2H4+H2O gives C2H5OH in this example ethanol is a product. When we take chemical or physical properties of ethanol it act as reactent in the chemical equation. Example-combustion or burning of ethanol in air gives carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH+3O2 gives 2CO2+3H20 in the above example ethanol is a reactent.
What is the SN1 reaction that produces ethanol from chloroethane?
Reaction of chloroethane with water gives ethanol.
Prepare chloroform from ethyl alcohol by haloform reaction?

How do you make chloroform from bleaching powder?
BY HALOFORM TEST Acetone gets oxidized by bleaching powder. Chloroform is one of the products of the reaction.

Why is hydrochloric acid used in a haloform reaction?
I have this same question! All i know is that it is to acidify the solution by protonating the hypochlorite ion and turning it into hypochlorous acid. Hope that helps!
What is the reaction between acidified potassium dichromate and ethanol?

What is the reaction from sugar to ethanol called?
Fermentation.
Chemical formula for the reaction of ethanol and lucas reagent?
balanced equation for ethanol and lucas reagent
Will acetaldehyde give positive haloform reaction?
Yes. The alpha protons on the methyl group will be deprotonated and react with halides and eventually form a trihaloform group or (-C-CX3). The Trihalofrom is explelled when a OH group attacks the carbonyl carbon. This forms the trihaloform carbanion of the carboxylic acid. The anion takes a hydrogen from the acid to form the haloform and a carboxylic salt
Is ethanol dissolving in water an exothermic reaction?
YesThe mixing of ethanol with water is an exothermic phenomenon.
In iodoform test can you use ethanol instead of water?
no, because ethanol gives iodoform reactions
