  4. D \(1: 3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C_6H_6 + CH_3CH_2COCl \xrightarrow{AlCl_3} C_6H_5COCH_2CH_3\) \(C_6H_5COCH_2CH_3 \xrightarrow{Zn/Hg, HCl} C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_3\) (Product P) In product P (\(C_6H_5CH_2CH_2CH_3\)): Number of \(sp^3\) carbons = 3 (\(CH_2, CH_2, CH_3\)) Number of \(sp^2\) carbons = 6 (from benzene…
