Question: For most ketones, hydrate formation is unfavorable,

For most ketones, hydrate formation is unfavorable, because the equilibrium favors the ketone rather than the hydrate. However, the equilibrium for hydration of hexafluoroacetone favors formation of the hydrate: Provide a plausible explanation for this observation.
