(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Enol tautomer of 2,4-pentanedione has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Tautomerism is the ability of a molecule to exist in more than one chemical form. Tautomers are formed by the migration of a hydrogen atom, accompanied by the switching of a single and neighboring double bond.

The only difference in keto-enol tautomers is the location of hydrogen and double bond.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason for most ketones forms 1% less enol in aqueous solution whereas 2,4-pentanedioneis much more prevalent has to be explained.
