A ketone and a Grignard reagent react in ether solution followed by acid workup, to form a tertiary alcohol. Grignard reactions must be scrupulously dry in order to work effectively. A common method of drying glassware is to rinse with acetone prior to use.
1. Why is rinsing with acetone not suitable for the reaction stated in the question?a)Magnesium does not dissolve in acetone. b)Water dissolves in acetone. Adding acetone will add water to the reaction flask. c)Magnesium dissolves in acetone. Adding acetone will remove a vital reactant from the flask. d)Acetone is a ketone. Grignard reagents will react with acetone to make an unwanted byproduct.

Will give imagine you are given a mystery element. it is, however, a discovered and known element. you may perform a maximum of two observations or tests to determine its identity. time and money is critical, so you need to prioritize your tests. if you can get by with a single test, you get 100 super-geek points from your research lab team. pick your two tests, number them as #1 and #2, and justify why you think these two will certainly be enough (and why the first might well be enough all by itself.) the available tests are classification into metal, non-metal, or metalloid, count of valence electrons, count of electron shells, atomic radius (error range: +/- 1 pm), electronegativity (error range: +/- 0.1), first ionization energy (error range: +/- 10 kj/mole), melting point (error range: +/- 10 c), and boiling point (error range: +/- 20 c).
