| | Ketene Chemical Properties |
| Specific Heat Capacity | Cp(gas): 1.23 J/(g·K), at 25℃ |
| | Ketene Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Colorless gas; disagreeable odor. Readily polymerizes; cannot be shipped or stored in a
gaseous state. | | Uses | Acetylating agent, generally reacting with compounds having an active hydrogen atom; reacts with
ammonia to give acetamide. Starting point for making various commercially important products, especially acetic anhydride and acetate esters. | | Definition | A member of a
group of organic compounds, general formula
R2C:CO, where R is hydrogen or an
organic radical. The simplest member is
the colorless gas ketene, CH2:CO; the
other ketenes are colored because of the
presence of the double bonds. Ketenes are
unstable and react with other unsaturated
compounds to give cyclic compounds. | | Hazard | Toxic by inhalation, strong irritant to skin
and mucous membranes. |
