Question

what happens when propyne is treated with hg2+ h2so4 and water​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the general mechanism, the triple bond of propyne attacks H2SO4. The hydrogen, the electrophile, goes to the least substituted carbon. We now have a carbocation so water comes in as a nucleophile and attacks. But, now we have a positive charge on the oxygen, so a base de-protonates the molecule.xplanation:
