1 mole of a symmetrical alkene on ozonolysis gives 2 moles of an aldehyde with molecular mass 44w. The alkene is

  1. A Ethene
  2. B Propene
  3. C But-1-ene
  4. D But-2-ene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) But-2-ene

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular mass of aldehyde = 44. \( \text{R-CHO} \rightarrow \text{R} + 29 = 44 \rightarrow \text{R} = 15 (\text{CH}_3) \). Aldehyde: \( \text{CH}_3\text{CHO} \). Symmetrical alkene yielding 2 moles of \( \text{CH}_3\text{CHO} \) is \( \text{CH}_3\text{CH}=\text{CHCH}_3 \)…
