When 2-butyne is treated with dilute \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4/\text{HgSO}_4\), the product formed is:
- A Butanone
- B Butanal
- C 2-butanol
- D 1-butanol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Butanone
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of an alkyne with dilute \(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\) in the presence of \(\text{HgSO}_4\) is known as Kucherov's reaction, which results in the hydration of the alkyne. For 2-butyne (\(\text{CH}_3-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{CH}_3\)), the addition of a water molecule…

- Samhita faces a three-headed dragon. She wins a 'Tactical medal' if she manages to defeat exactly one of the three heads.
The battle proceeds head-by-head under the following conditions:
The probability of defeating the first head is \(\dfrac{1}{3}\).
After a win: if she defeats a head, the probability of defeating the next head is \(\dfrac{2}{3}\).
After a loss: if she fails to defeat a head, the probability of defeating the next head is \(\dfrac{1}{4}\).
