Question

An organic liquid (A), containing C, H and O with the boiling point 78oC and possessing a rather pleasant odour, or heating with concentrated H2SO4 gives a gaseous product (B) with the empirical formula CH2.B decolourises bromine water as well as alkaline KMnO4 solution and takes up one mole of H2 (per mole of B) in the presence of finely divided nickel at high temperature. A and B are -

Options

A.C2H5OH,C2H2
B.CH3OH,C2H2
C.C2H5OH,C2H4
D.(CH3)2CHOH,C3H6

Solution

option C is appropriate because C2H4 is with empirical formula CH2 and it will require only 1 mole of H2 to reduce
