Question

Acetone is distilled with concentrated $$H_{2}S{O}_4$$. The resultant product obtained is-
A)

B)

C)

D)

Answer 1

Hint:In organic chemistry, hydrocarbons are an important topic. The hydrocarbons are majorly classified as three groups. There are alkane, alkene and alkyne. The alkane means carbon-carbon single bond. The alkene has a carbon-carbon double bond. The alkyne means carbon-carbon having triple bond in the molecule. It has some general formulas. The general formula of alkane is $$C_n{H}_{2n+2}$$. The general formula of alkene is $$C_n{H}_{2n}$$. The general formula of alkyne is $$C_n{H}_{2n-2}$$.

Complete answer:
The molecular formula of acetone is $$C_3{H}_{6}O$$.
The structural formula of acetone is given below,

The molecular formula of sulphuric acid is $$H_{2}S{O}_4$$.
Acetone is distilled with concentrated $$H_{2}S{O}_4$$ and the resultant product is mesitylene.
The chemical reaction for the above discussion is given below,

The molecular formula of mesitylene is $$C_9{H}_9$$.
The structural formula of mesitylene is given below,

According to the above discussion, we conclude acetone is distilled with concentrated $$H_{2}S{O}_4$$. The resultant product obtained is mesitylene.

Hence, the option D is the correct answer.

Note:
We have to know that toluene is one of the mono substituent benzene compounds. Each mono-substituent moiety having three named positions in the ring. In the ring nearby mono substituent group is called an ortho position, that means two ortho positions are in the ring, because of the left and right side of the substituent group. The alternatively position of the substituent group in the ring is called meta position, here also two meta positions possible in the left and right side of the substituent group. Para position is nothing but directly opposite to the substituent group in the ring. Electrophilic substitutions are attacked in ortho and para position in the ring. In organic chemistry benzene is one of the important compounds. It is one of the aromatic compounds. The molecular formula of benzene is$$C_6{H}_6$$.
