An unknown compound A has a molecular formula C4H6. When A is treated with an excess of Br2 a new substance B with formula C4 H6 Br4 is formed. A forms a white precipitate with ammonia cal silver nitrate solution. A may be
(a)Butyne-1
We know about addition of Halogens.
Addition of Halogen: Alkyne on reaction with bromine water solution or solution of Br2 in CCl4 gives alkyne tetrabromide and the colour of solution disappears.
Since the molecule takes 2 moles of Br2. Therefore it is alkyne. Also it gives white ppt with Tollen's reagent therefore acidic H is present. Hence it is 1- Butyne.
