Q24 / 90 · JEE Main 2014 (06 Apr) · Chemistry

The major organic compound formed by the reaction of 1, 1, 1 - trichloroethane with silver powder is :

A
Acetylene
B
Ethene
Correct answer
C
2 - Butyne
D
2 - Butene

Solution

The 1, 1, 1 - trichloroethane form 2-butyne when reacted with silver powder.

{CH}_{3} {CCl}_{3} + 6 Ag \to {CH}_{3} C \equiv {CCH}_{3} + 6 AgCl

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