Properties of Aldehydes and Ketones

Aldehydes and ketones contain the same functional group, for example, butanal and butanone both contain the same carbonyl functional group (C=O). So how would you tell if a substance was butanal or butanone?
AUS-e-TUTE has just added new resources to help you understand the similarities and differences in the chemical and physical properties of aldehydes and ketones (as represented by alkanals and alkanones). AUS-e-TUTE Members should log-in to use the new tutorial, game, test and exam with worked solutions.
If you are not an AUS-e-TUTE member there is currently a "free-to-view" tutorial on this topic at https://www.ausetute.com.au/ketones.html

How to write half-equations for aqueous solutions under acidic conditions

Some batteries, like lead-acid batteries used in cars, and some fuel cells like those that use alcohols, rely on oxidation and reduction reactions that occur in aqueous solution under acidic conditions.
You will need to be able to write half-equations for these reactions.
How do you write balanced chemical half-equations for these reactions?
