The formulae of four organic compounds are shown below. Choose the correct option

Question 7 - The formulae of - teachoo.jpg

  1. A and B are unsaturated hydrocarbons
  2. C and D are saturated hydrocarbons
  3. Addition of hydrogen in presence of catalyst changes A to C
  4. Addition of potassium permanganate changes B to D

 

Answer:

  • Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons that only have a single bond between two carbon atoms,
  • Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with at least one double or triple bond between two carbon atoms.
  • Compound A is ethene
  • The Addition of Hydrogen to a compound in the presence of a catalyst is known as hydrogenation
  • The following reaction will take place when Hydrogenation of compound A takes place.

  • The resultant is Ethane (Compound C) .
  • The addition of potassium permanganate to a hydrocarbon results in its oxidation (to alcohol, aldehyde or carboxylic acid)
  • It does not cause reduction .

Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Addition of hydrogen in presence of catalyst changes A to C
