Answer:
a) propyne
Explanation:
Propyne is converted when it is made to undergo a reaction with substances like mercuric sulphate and is then followed by its hydrolysis. The end result of this reaction is acetone .
As its name suggests, propyne has three carbons (prop = three, yne = triple bond), giving it the chemical formula C3H5.
Acetone, on the other hand, has a -C=O group in its compounds and, like propyne, contains three carbon atoms, giving it the chemical formula C3H4O.
Propyne can be produced to undergo a reaction with mercuric sulphate followed by hydrolysis, and the end product that results from this process is acetone.
