A compound is soluble in conc. `H_2SO_4`. It does not decolourise bromine in carbon tetrachloride but is oxidised by chromic abhydride in aqueous sulphuric acid with in two seconds, turning orange solution to blue, green and then opaque. The original compound isA. a primary alcoholB. a tertiary alcoholC. an alkeneD. an ether.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Solubility of the compound in conc. `H_2SO_4` indicates that it can be alkene. Alcohol or ether. The inability to discharge bromine colour indicates absence of an alkene. Hence the compound is an alcohol which should be primary alcohol because it readily (with in two seconds) oxidized by `CrO_3` in `H_2SO_4`.
