Solution
The correct option is D Ammonical silver nitrate Only terminal alkynes (but-1-yne) react with ammonical solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3). (iii)CH3−CH2−C≡CH+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3→CH3−CH2−C≡C−Ag+white ppt
Rest other compounds do not react with ammonical solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3). (i)CH3−C≡C−CH3+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3→No reaction (ii)CH3−CH2−CH2−CH3+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3→No reaction (iv)CH3−CH=CH2+2[Ag(NH3)2]NO3→No reaction
Hence, correct option is d.
