Do not be confused with alcohols nor ketones when seeing the -OH and the =O bonded. They each are really parts of either:
- the carboxylic acid group (-COOH)
- the ester link (from neighbour carbon along the ring)
Likewise, double-bonds you see constitute the benzene (aromatic) ring:
- a functional group in itself
- they are not the normal alkene double bonds
- would actually best be represented by a circle inside the ring,
- not double lines for each of 3 double bonds, as resonance occurs in benzene rings.
Therefore, aspirin (or acetylsalicylic acid) contains:
- aromatic ring
- carboxylic acid group
- ester group
and can be regarded as an acid (i.e. acetylsalicylic acid)
or the acetate ester of salicylic acid :-)
so aspirin is (if choosing from your options):
- not an alkene, nor a ketone, nor an alcohol.
- we are left with a carboxylic acid
BUT we usually only regard aspirin as an acetate ester, or a derivative of salicylic acid,
so you wouldn't generally hear one calling aspirin a carboxylic acid :-)
I hope I cleared things up a bit :-)
Cheers.
What else can I help you with?
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 organic compound does CH3CH2OCH3 classify as Alcohol Carboxylic acid Aldehyde Ketone Ether Ester?
Ether
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.
Which alcohol contains four carbon atoms and can be oxidised to a ketone?
Butan-1-ol is an alcohol that contains four carbon atoms and can be oxidized to produce butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). This reaction typically involves the removal of two hydrogen atoms from the alcohol to form the ketone.
What are all the functional groups that contain a carboxly group?
Acyl bromide (a type of acid halide or acyl halide) Aldehyde Amide Anhydride Carboxylic Acid Enone Ester Ketone
Which functional groups are present in carbohydrates?
alcohol, aldehyde, or ketone.

Why is it not possible to selectively epoxidize an alkene with mCPBA in the presence of a ketone?
It is not possible to selectively epoxidize an alkene with mCPBA in the presence of a ketone because mCPBA can react with both the alkene and the ketone, leading to non-selective reactions and the formation of undesired byproducts.
If a molecule is an ene-one what functional groups must it have?
An ene-one molecule must have both an alkene (ene) and a ketone (one) functional group. The alkene functional group is characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond, while the ketone functional group consists of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen and attached to two other carbon groups.
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.
Does drinking cans produce methane?
of course not. the one you drink is the ethane(ethyl alcohol).. when it is oxidized in the body..itll form either a carboxylic acid or a ketone, that u will excrete by your urine
What functional groups are toradol?
aromatic ring, ketone, heterocyclic amines and carboxylic Acid
What is the result when you reduce a ketone?
Reducing a ketone typically results in the formation of a secondary alcohol. This involves the addition of two hydrogen atoms to the carbonyl carbon of the ketone, resulting in the replacement of the oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms.
Which functional group will not be found on a carbohydrate molecule A Aldehyde B Carboxylic acid C Hydroxyl D Ketone?
It sort of depends on how restrictive your definition of "carbohydrate" is. If you're using it in a way synonymous with "saccharide" (common, but not necessarily the only possible definition), then they will have hydroxyl groups and might have either an aldehyde or a ketone group (or they may not, for example glucose in its hemiacetal form), but they will not have a carboxylic acid group.
What is the product when secondary alcohol is oxidized?
ketone
Why does aceto aceticester react like ketones as well like an alkene?
Acetoacetic ester can react like a ketone because it contains a carbonyl group that can participate in typical ketone reactions such as nucleophilic addition. It can also react like an alkene because the enol form of acetoacetic ester can undergo tautomerization to form a more stable carbonyl compound, allowing it to participate in alkene-like reactions such as electrophilic addition.
