Practice NEET UG Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids in the app →The carbonyl carbon in aldehydes and ketones is:The IUPAC name of (CH₃)₂CHCH₂COCH(CH₃)₂ is:Glutaric acid is the common name for:Acetophenone (C₆H₅COCH₃) can be prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with:In nucleophilic addition reactions, the relative reactivity order is:A reaction of an aldehyde with ammonia followed by a primary amine R-NH₂ gives:**Clemmensen reduction** converts C=O of a ketone to CH₂ using:Aromatic ring of acetophenone (C₆H₅COCH₃) undergoes electrophilic substitution. The carbonyl group is:Why is acetic acid (pKa ≈ 4.76) much MORE acidic than ethanol (pKa ≈ 16)?Which of the following reactions is used to **distinguish** acetophenone (PhCOCH₃) from benzaldehyde (PhCHO)?Esterification of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol catalysed by conc. H₂SO₄ (Fischer esterification) is a:Aldehydes are generally more reactive than ketones in nucleophilic addition because:Tollens' reagent gives a silver mirror with:Carboxylic acids are more acidic than alcohols because:Among acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, the strongest acid is:
