Question

An organic compound on heating with CuO produces CO2, but no water. The organic compound may be (A) Methane (B) Ethyl iodide (C) Carbon tetrachloride (D) Chloroform

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Since, the compound on heating with CuO produced CO 2, it contains carbon. Again, it does not produce water, hence it does not contain hydrogen. So, the organic compound is carbon tetrachloride ( CCl 4)

Q. An organic compound on heating with $C u O$ produces $C O_{2}$ , but no water. The organic compound may be

Methane

Ethyl iodide

Carbon tetrachloride

Chloroform

Since, the compound on heating with $C u O$ produced $C O_{2}$ , it contains carbon. Again, it does not produce water, hence it does not contain hydrogen. So, the organic compound is carbon tetrachloride $(CC l_{4})$
