Q. A compound $(X)$ with a molecular formula $C_{5}H_{10}O$ gives a positive $2,4-DNP$ test but a negative Tollens’ test On oxidation it gives a carboxylic acid $(Y)$ with a molecular formula $C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}$. Potassium salt of $(Y)$ undergoes Kolbe’s reaction and gives a hydrocarbon $(Z). (X), (Y)$ and $(Z)$ respectively are

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Since the compound gives positive $2, 4-DNP$ test and negative Tollens’ test, it is a ketone.
