Question

The major product of the following chemical reaction is:

• A. ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{CO}\right)}_2\mathrm{O}$
• B. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{CHO}$
• C. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3$
• D. ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{OH}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{CHO}$

The correct option is (b)

Explanation for the correct option:

(b)

• Explanation: That's the aldehyde of carbon. Propionaldehyde is a transparent, colourless liquid that smells strongly of fruit. its density flashpoint is comparable to water.
• It is an odourless, flammable liquid with a mild fruity odour. Commercially and on a large scale, it is produced. Benzene is thus represented by the empirical formula CH, indicating that a typical sample of the compound contains three carbon atoms. to five hydrogen atoms and two oxygen.
• The parent chain is composed of three carbon and five hydrogen and two oxygen atoms.
• Diagram:

Explanation for the incorrect option:

(a)

• Explanation: Benzene is thus represented by the empirical formula CH, indicating that a typical sample of the compound contains three carbon atoms. to six hydrogen atoms and one oxygen.
• The parent chain is composed of three carbon and six hydrogens and one oxygen atom.

(c)

• Explanation: Benzene is thus represented by the empirical formula CH, indicating that a typical sample of the compound contains three carbon atoms. to eight hydrogen atoms.
• The parent chain is composed of three carbon and eight hydrogen atoms.

(d)

• Explanation: Benzene is thus represented by the empirical formula CH, indicating that a typical sample of the compound contains three carbon atoms. to eight hydrogen atoms and one oxygen.
• The parent chain is composed of three carbon and eight hydrogens and one oxygen atom.

The correct option is (b): That's the aldehyde of carbon. Propionaldehyde is a transparent, colourless liquid that smells strongly of fruit. its density flashpoint is comparable to water.
