Question

Acetone and sodium chloride both have similar mass. explain why their other properties differ.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Molecular formula of acetone is
`CH_(3)COCH_(3)` and its mass is 58.08 g/mol. Molecular formula of sodium chloride is NaCl and its mass is 58.44 g/mol.

Acetone contains ketone as the functional group and it is acidic in nature. Whereas NaCl is also known as common salt and it is not acidic in nature.

As both acetone and sodium chloride contains different type of atoms. Hence, despite of having similar mass they tend to show different properties.

Answer 2

Acetone and sodium chloride both have similar mass but different properties. They behave in different ways since each of them consists of different atoms which has different behaviors with each other. Sodium chloride has Na and Cl atoms which are very different with acetone which has carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. Hope this helps.
