Experiment 13 Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and
Ketones
OBJECTIVES
To observe the oxidation reaction of acetone and
benzaldehyde with the action of air
To compare the oxidation rates of certain
aldehydes and ketones using KMnO4
To learn and observe the reactions of aldehydes
and ketones and be able to distinguish the two
using Fehlings test, phenylhydrazone derivative,
and iodoform test
RESULTS
Oxidation- Action of Air
Observation
Acetone -from liquid state, the temperature decreased (the
watchglass became cold), after a while, it evaporated
