Description

You can produce ketones by oxidising secondary alcohols. In this experiment, the students will produce 2-propanone (acetone) from 2-propanol using copper(II) oxide as a representative for the substance group of ketones. The resulting product is then detected by its characteristic odour. Through this the students learn about a method for the preparation of ketones and how a commonly used chemical such as acetone is produced.
