    Which of the following reacts with \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] but does not react with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]?

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: (i) Alkene and alkynes both react with \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] and decolorise it (ii) Only alkynes react with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] to give while precipitate. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}} \\  \,(a)  \\  alkane \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-H}}\,\]     \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{4}} \\  \,(b)  \\  alkane \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-H}}\,\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}} \\  \,(c)  \\  alkene \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-H}}\,\]     \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}} \\  \,(d)  \\  alkyne \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{H-C\equiv C-H}}\,\] \[\therefore \] \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] (an alkene) reacts with \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] and decolorises it and does not react with . \[AgN{{O}_{3}},\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\] and \[C{{H}_{4}}\] are alkane they do not react with \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] and \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\].
