Question

Ethylene reacts with ozone gas to form the compound

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is A. HCHO

Explanation:

• Alkenes can be oxidized by ozone to produce alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids.
• Alkynes are subjected to ozonolysis to produce diketones or acid anhydrides.
• The acid anhydride undergoes hydrolysis to produce two carboxylic acids if water is present during the process.
• Elastomer ozonolysis is also referred to as ozone cracking. The double bonds in elastomers are broken by minute concentrations of ozone gas in the atmosphere.
• The ozonolysis process produces nitrosamines from azo compounds.
