Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ammoniacal silver nitrate, also known as Tollens reagent, reacts with terminal alkynes to form a white precipitate of silver acetylide. The general reaction is \(R-C\equiv CH + [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ OH^- \rightarrow R-C\equiv C-Ag \downarrow + 2NH_3 + H_2O\). Among the given options,…
