Butanal, another name for butyraldehyde, is CH3(CH2)2CHO (or C4H8O if you prefer). It's a derivative, the aldehyde derivative, of butane, and it's pretty obvious that it's an organic compound.

Which is soluble in water butane or butanal?

Butanal is more soluble in water than butane because butanal contains a polar functional group (aldehyde group) that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility. Butane, on the other hand, is a nonpolar molecule and therefore has lower solubility in water.

Can you write butanal as butan-1-al?

Butanal is commonly written as butan-1-al to indicate that the aldehyde group is attached to the first carbon atom in the butane chain. This naming convention helps to specify the exact location of the functional group in the molecule.


Test to distinguish between butanal and butanone?

To distinguish between butanal and butanone: Perform a Brady's test: butanone will give a positive result by forming a yellow or orange precipitate with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine whereas butanal will not. Perform a chromic acid test: butanal will form a green color whereas butanone will not react. Conduct a Tollens' test: butanone will not react with Tollens' reagent whereas butanal will form a silver mirror precipitate indicative of an aldehyde.
