Answer 1

Answer:

Since it yields phenyl hydrazone. This indicates presence of corbonyl group.

It gives negative response to the Iodoform test. This indicates absence of methyl keto group.

Hence, n-amyl alcohol and 2- pentanone are ruled out.

Now, it gives negative response to Tollen's rule.

This indicates absence of aldehyde group.

Hence, pentanal is ruled out.

It produces n-pentane on reduction. This indicates presence of 5-carbon backbone.

Therefore, 'X' must be 3- pentanone.

Hope this helps!
