A 1-mole sample of acetone is subjected to the iodoform test. Calculate the theoretical mass of the yellow precipitate formed in grams.
Q1. A 1-mole sample of acetone is subjected to the iodoform test. Calculate the theoretical mass of the yellow precipitate formed in grams.
Answer: 394g
Explanation: One mole of acetone reacts with iodine to produce one mole of iodoform (CHI3). 119g is the mass of chloroform instead.
