     When ethanal is heated with Fehling's solution it gives a precipitate of:

    A) \[\text{CuO}\]                 

    B) \[\text{C}{{\text{u}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\,\text{+}\,\text{CuO}\]

    C)  \[\text{Cu}\]                                    

    D)  \[C{{u}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\underset{\text{Ethanol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Fehlings} \\  \text{solution} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2C{{u}^{2+}}}}\,+5O{{H}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}\]\[C{{H}_{3}}CO{{O}^{-}}+\underset{(Red\,ppt)}{\mathop{\underset{\text{Cuprous}\,\text{oxide}}{\mathop{3{{H}_{2}}O+C{{u}_{2}}O}}\,}}\,\]
