Can $\ce{CH3-CHCl-CH3}$ and $\ce{CH3COCl}$ give the iodoform test? I thought $\ce{CH3COCl}$ having the keto-methyl group would show the iodoform test, while $\ce{CH3-CHCl-CH3}$ will not since it's not a secondary alcohol but an alkyl halide.

I want to ask a question about determining the oxidation state of a Platinum complex. I was presented today with the following complex and asked to comment on the oxidation state and hence the d-orbital configuration of the central metal ion: My working was as follows: The $\ce{Me}$ groups ...

Rate is calculated as change in concentration over change in time, so usually $\pu{M/s}$ $(\pu{mol L-1 s-1}).$ Say, I'm calculating it for $20\%$ solution of ammonium hydroxide, so my final rate is in $\pu{\%/s}.$ Is this a proper format, or should I calculate for $\pu{mol L-1}?$

As a non scientist I several times wondered how can an Organic chemist successfully isolate a single molecule which a natural product of an organism; Whether a plant-part/mushroom-part/algae-part or a coral-part or even from an animal or human organ in autopsy (neurotransmitter/hormone and so for...
