Question

The catalyst used for obtaining carbonyl compound from alkyne with H₂O .............
(A) Pt
(B) HgSO₄
(C) HgCl₂
(D) HCN

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer to your question

Answer 2

The catalyst used for obtaining carbonyl compounds from alkynes, when combined with H2O is (B) HgSO4.

The reaction is referred to as the catalytic hydration of alkynes, which result in carbonyl compounds. Alkynes are hydrocarbons which have a triple bond present between adjacent carbon atoms. Carbonyl compounds are organic compounds containing a (-C=O) group bonded to a hydrocarbon chain. On adding water and mercuric sulphate (HgSO4) to an alkyne, it reacts to form a carbonyl product.
