Solution
The correct option is C i,ii
CuSO4.5H2Odehydration−−−−−−−−−→CuSO4+5H2O
→ It we increase the temp, autometically the above decomposition fastens.
→ if humidity is present in the air, CuSO4 due to it's deliquesent nature absorbs H2O to form CuSO4.5H2O. So, low humidity is to be maintained high temperature, low humidity in air → favourable dihydroxylation of alkenes with cold, dilute KMnO4 to give vicinal doils.
Alkynes could not react with cold, dilute KMnO4, because KMnO4 has not got that much oxidizing capacity to oxidize an Alkyne.
