1.	A hydrocarbon C,H, (A) reacts wit A reacts with HBr to form compound (B). Compound (B) rencts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to give (C) of molecular formula C_(3)H_(6)O to give (C) of molecular formula C.H.O. What are (A) Ans. (B) and (C). Explain the reactions
Answer» SOLUTION : 1. The hydrocarbon withmolecular formula ` C_3H_6` (A) is definedas propene , `CH_3-CH=CH_2` 2. Propene reacts with HBR to form bromopropane `CH_3-CH_2-CH_2Br` as (B). 3. 1- bromopropanereact with aqueouspotassium HYDROXIDE to give 1- propanaol`CH_3-CH_2-CH_2OH` as (C). 4. 2-bromo propanereacts with aqueous KOH to give 2-propanol as (C)
