Vedclass · Answer

(A) Acetone $(CH_3COCH_3)$ is an aliphatic ketone that reacts with saturated sodium bisulfite $(NaHSO_3)$ to form a white crystalline addition product. Acetophenone $(C_6H_5COCH_3)$ is an aromatic ketone; due to steric hindrance and electronic effects,it does not form a bisulfite addition product with $NaHSO_3$. Therefore,$NaHSO_3$ is used to distinguish between them.
