Q13 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (16 Mar Shift 2) · Chemistry

An unsaturated hydrocarbon X on ozonolysis gives A. Compound A when warmed with ammoniacal silver nitrate forms a bright silver mirror along the sides of the test tube. The unsaturated hydrocarbon X is :

  • A
    Figure
  • B
    Figure
  • Correct answer
    C
    HC≡C-CH2-CH3
  • D
    CH3-C≡C-CH3

Solution

Figure

As (A) compound given positive Tollen's test hence it may consist  -CHO (aldehyde group) or it can be HCOOH

So for the given option :

(3) CH3-CH2-C≡CH⟶OzonolysisCH3CH2COOH+HCOOH(A)+ve tollen's test

and for other compounds (options):

Figure

(3) CH3-C≡C-CH3⟶Ozonolysis2CH3-COOH(Does not show tollen's test)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
