Butanone (also known as methyl ethyl ketone) is not immortal; it is a highly volatile and flammable liquid. Its relative stability compared to some other organic compounds may be due to its structure and bonding characteristics, but it is still reactive and can pose health hazards if handled improperly.
The chemical formula for butanone is C4H8O. It is a ketone compound with a four-carbon chain and a ketone functional group.
To synthesize 1-hydroxy-3-butanone from ethyl acetoacetate, first convert ethyl acetoacetate to ethyl acetoacetate phenylhydrazone using phenylhydrazine. Then, cyclize the phenylhydrazone to form the desired 1-hydroxy-3-butanone product. Hydrolyze the phenylhydrazone under acidic conditions to obtain the final product, 11-diphenyl-1-hydroxy-3-butanone.
The iodoform test is used to detect the presence of a methyl ketone. When 2-butanone is treated with iodine and sodium hydroxide, a yellow precipitate of iodoform (CHI3) forms if 2-butanone is present. This test confirms the presence of a methyl ketone functional group in the compound.

Emos are people like everyone else, and are no more or less immortal than others.
"My immortal" if it is than its Evanescence =D
Substances that are polar or have similar polarity to 2-butanone are likely to dissolve in it. This includes compounds like some salts, sugars, and certain organic molecules. Non-polar substances like oils and fats are not likely to dissolve in 2-butanone.
The chemical formula for butanone is C4H8O. It is a ketone compound with a four-carbon chain and a ketone functional group.
2-Butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), is a colorless liquid with a sweet, but sharp odor. 2-Butanone is manufactured in large amounts for use in paints, glues, and other finishes because it rapidly evaporates and will dissolve many substances. It will quickly evaporate into the air. 2-Butanone is often found dissolved in water or as a gas in the air. 2-Butanone is also a natural product made by some trees and is found in some fruits and vegetables. The exhausts of cars and trucks release 2-butanone into the air. 2-Butanone is usually found in the air, water, and soil of landfills and hazardous waste sites.

because 2-butanone is a mixture so ethanol and water do not but mixtures do.
Butane is a smaller molecule, so the London Dispersion forces between molecules of butane hold the molecule together better than the London Dispersion forces of a hexane molecule. In short, it requires more energy to separate butane molecules from each other than hexane molecules.
Butanone contains a ketone functional group. This functional group consists of a carbonyl group attached to two alkyl groups.
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.
