  • question_answer
    In the following reaction, A and B, respectively are\[A\xrightarrow{HBr}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Br\xrightarrow{B}A\]

    A) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}},\,\,alc.KOH/\Delta \]

    B) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}Cl,\,\,aq.KOH/\Delta \]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}OH,\,\,aq.KOH/\Delta \]

    D) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}},\,\,PB{{r}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\underset{(A)}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}C=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{HBr}C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]\[\xrightarrow{Alc.\,\,KOH(B)}{{H}_{2}}C=C{{H}_{2}}\] Hence,\[A\]and\[B\]are respectively\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]and \[alc.\text{ }KOH\]. \[Alc.\text{ }KOH\] causes the dehydrohalogenation (ie, removal of hydrogen and halogen) reactions.
