Question

But-2-yne is reacted separately with one mole of Hydrogen as shown below
B —Na / liq NH3→ CH3–C≡C–CH3 —Pd/C, Δ→ A
+H2
(A) A is more than soluble than B.
(B) The boiling point & melting point of A are higher and lower than B respectively.
(C) A is more polar than B because dipole moment of A is zero.
(D) Br2 adds easily to B than A.
Identify the incorrect statements from the option given below

Accepted Answer

B, C & D only. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because A is a more stable alkane with higher boiling and melting points than B, which is an alkyne. Additionally, A is less polar than B due to its symmetrical structure, resulting in a zero dipole moment, and the addition of Br2 is more favorable to the more reactive alkyne B than the alkane A.
