In the reaction \(\underset{\substack{\text { (Vapour) }}}{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}} \underset{300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\stackrel{\mathrm{Cu}}{\longrightarrow}} X\). The molecular formula of \(X\) is
- A \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}\)
- B \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{O}\)
- D \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{O}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alcohols are oxidised by hot copper to give aldehydes. \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH} \frac{\mathrm{Cu}}{300^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \underset{\text { Acetaldehyde }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}} \text { or } \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{O}\)
