Question

An organic compound A on heating with concentrated H2S o4 give product B and on warming with alkaline KMnO4 give compound C. Compound A on heating with compound C in presence of concentrated H2s o4 formed compound D, which has fruity smell.
identify the compound A,B,C and D
​

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

Since compound C gives 2 moles of CO  

2

​  

 and 3 moles of H  

2

​  

O, it shows that it has the molecular formula C  

2

​  

H  

6

​  

 (Ethane). C is obtained by the addition of one mole of hydrogen to compound B so the molecular formula of B should be C  

2

​  

H  

4

​  

 (Ethene). Compound B is obtained by heating compound A with concentrated H  

2

​  

SO

​  

 which shows it to be an alcohol. So compound A could be C
