Chapter 12.4, Problem 11ATS
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given reaction is the conversion of ketones to alcohol. It must be determined whether the ring has been oxidized or reduced.

Concept introduction:

It is done by calculating the oxidation state of the atoms. If there is an increase in the charge on any atom, it is said to be oxidized. If there is a decrease in the oxidation state of the atom, it is said to be reduced. The oxidation state of the carbon on which the change has occurred must be calculated by cleaving the bonds between carbon and the atom to which it is attached.

I2 (aq) + CH3COCH3 (aq)  HI (aq) + ICH2COCH3 (aq)Iodine in solution has a yellow-brown color, whereas the acetone and both products are colorless. This means that we can run the reaction using iodine as the limiting reagent, and when we see that the yellow-brown color of the iodine has disappeared, we know that the reaction has stopped and all of the iodine has been consumed.   Recall that to calculate a rate of reaction, we would like toknow the change in concentration of a reactant or product during a fixed amount of time. Wewill choose the reactant iodine in this case, because its brown color allows us to determinewhen its concentration has fallen to zero.   Rate = –Δ[I2] / Δt = – ([I2]final – [I2]initial) / ([tfinal – tinitial) = – (0 – [I2]initial) / (tfinal – 0) = [I2]initial / tfinal   Run several trials at different concentrations of reactants and use themethod of initial rates to obtain values for k, x, y, and z in the rate law.   Rate = k [I2]x [acetone]y [H+]z   Run the…
