FAQs on Important Aldehyde, Ketones & Carboxylic Acid Formulas for JEE and NEET

1. What is the general formula of an aldehyde?
Ans. The general formula of an aldehyde is R-CHO, where R represents an alkyl or aryl group.
2. How can aldehydes be oxidized to form carboxylic acids?
Ans. Aldehydes can be oxidized to form carboxylic acids by using oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate (KMnO4) or chromic acid (H2CrO4).
3. What is the difference between an aldehyde and a ketone?
Ans. The main difference between an aldehyde and a ketone is the presence of a carbonyl group (-C=O) attached to a hydrogen atom in an aldehyde, whereas in a ketone, the carbonyl group is attached to two alkyl or aryl groups.
4. How can ketones be prepared from aldehydes?
Ans. Ketones can be prepared from aldehydes by using a dehydrating agent such as acid anhydrides or phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). This reaction is called the Aldol condensation.
5. What is the functional group present in carboxylic acids?
Ans. The functional group present in carboxylic acids is the carboxyl group (-COOH), consisting of a carbonyl group (-C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon atom.
