To distinguish the given pairs of compounds chemically, we can use specific reagents that react differently with aldehydes and ketones, as well as with aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Here’s a step-by-step solution for each pair: ### (i) Distinguishing `CH₃CHO` (acetaldehyde) and `CH₃COCH₃` (acetone) 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - `CH₃CHO` is acetaldehyde (an aldehyde). - `CH₃COCH₃` is acetone (a ketone). ...
