Give a chemical test to distinguish between acetone and acetic acid.
Arrange the following in their increasing order of expected enol content.
CH3COCH2CHO, CH3COCH3, CH3CHO, CH3COCH2 COCH3.
Increasing order of expected enol content is given below;
CH3CHO< CH3COCH3<CH3COCH2CHO<CH3COCH2 COCH3
Acetyl chloride on reaction with dimethyl cadmium formation of acetone take place.
