The next homologue after propanone (which is a ketone with the chemical formula C3H6O) is butanone, also known as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Butanone has the chemical formula C4H8O and features a longer carbon chain while maintaining the ketone functional group. The general trend in homologues is that each successive compound differs by a -CH2- group.
Firdt of all the question should read ' Write the IUPAC name of the next homologue of CH3OH? Note the word and the spelling. The next homologue is CH3CH2OH (Ethanol).
The trivial name for propanone is acetone.
Yes, propanone is acetone for all practical purposes.
The freezing point of propanone is -94,7 oC.
no
Yes, iodine dissolves in propanone (acetone) to form a purple solution. This is because iodine is soluble in nonpolar solvents like propanone due to its nonpolar nature.
2-propanone. The oxygen is doube bonded to the second carbon.
There are 13 atoms in a molecule of propanone (C3H6O) - three carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.
Propanone (Acetone) is used as nail varnish remover. It is also used as a component in superglue remover.
Acetone
When propanone is reduced, it forms propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) as the main product. The reduction process involves adding hydrogen atoms to the carbonyl group of propanone, resulting in the conversion of the C=O bond to a C-OH bond.
