Synthesising menthone is an exothermic process that includes a reflux procedure. Mark the correct statements. *
A- The reflux process enables us to transfers energy to the reaction mixture for an extended period of time without loss of solvent or reagents.
B- The reflux process increases the rate of the oxidation of menthol.
C- The reflux process increases the yield of the oxidation of menthol.
D- A water bath can be used in the preparation of menthone because the boiling point of the reaction mixture is below 100°C due to the inclusion of acetone in this mixture.
