Dry distillation of calcium acetate
higher mp and bp compared to
alkanes
lower mp and bp compared to
alcohol
solubility
More soluble than alkanes but less than alcohols
sp2 hybridization
carbonyl carbon
catalyst used in ozonide reduction
Zn/H2O
catalyst in hydration of alkynes
HgSO4 and H2SO4
hydration if alkynes results in the formation of intermediate
vinyl alcohol(ethenol)
Oxygen atom in carbonyl acts as
nucleophile
