Question

Which of the following will not react with an ammoniacal silver nitrate solution?

• A. $C{H}_{3}C\equiv CH$
• B. $(C{H}_3{)}_{2}CH-C\equiv CH$
• C. $C{H}_{3}C\equiv CC{H}_3$
• D. $HC\equiv CH$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$C{H}_3.C\equiv C.C{H}_3\underset{\text{Silver nitrate solution}}{\overset{\text{Ammonical}}{\to }}$ No reaction
Because there is no acidic hydrogen
