    The compound, with which ethanal does not react, is

    A) \[HCl\]                                 

    B) \[C{{l}_{2}}\]

    C) \[PC{{l}_{5}}\]                                  

    D) \[aq\text{ }NaHS{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\text{HCl}\]is a strong inorganic acid, hence it does not react with ethanal whereas with other given reagents, it reacts in the following manner : \[\underset{\text{ethanal}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\text{chloral}}{\mathop{CC{{l}_{3}}CHO}}\,\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+PC{{l}_{5}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{3}}CHC{{l}_{2}}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+NaHS{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{3}}CH<_{S{{O}_{3}}Na}^{OH}\] \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+HCl\xrightarrow{{}}\text{No reaction}\text{.}\]
