Acetone is produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of_________________?
Correct answer: C. Isopropanol
- A. Phenol
- B. Naphthalene
- C. Isopropanol
- D. Ethyl benzene
Explanation
Isopropanol undergoes catalytic dehydrogenation to form acetone and hydrogen: (CH₃)₂CHOH → (CH₃)₂CO + H₂. The other compounds do not give acetone by this standard reaction.
