    The reagent used in Clemmensen's reduction is

    A)  conc\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]       

    B) \[Zn-Hg\]/cone\[HCl\]

    C)  aq\[KOH\]                         

    D) ale\[KOH\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In Clemmensen's reduction Zn- Hg/ cone\[HCl\]is used. \[C=O+4H\xrightarrow{Zn-Hg+conc\,HCl}C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] This method is used to convert carbonyl compound into alkane.
