certain organic compound A containing C,H,O,N on hydrolysis gives b(molecular mass=46)and an acid. the same alcohol can be produced along with ammonia gas by reduction of A.A can also be produced from ethly iodide by treating with reagent C. what is A, B, C? give molecular formula with chemical reaction
The compound A is C2H5ONO
Reaction can be written as:
C2H5ONO + H2O → C2H5OH(B, Mol mass =46) + HNO2 (acid)
C2H5ONO on reduction →C2H5OH + NH3
C2H5I + KNO2(C) →C2H5ONO + KI
