    A compound gives a yellow precipitate on warming with a aq. solution of\[NaOH\]. Its vapour density is 29. The compound is

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]

    B)         \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)         \[C{{H}_{3}}CHOHC{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)         \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Molecular \[wt.=2\times vapour\text{ }density\] \[=2\times 29=58\] Two compounds \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]and \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\text{ }CHO\]show molecular weight 58. \[C{{H}_{3}}COC{{H}_{3}}\]do not produce yellow precipitate on warming with aq. Solution of\[NaOH\]. Hence \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}CHO\]is the compound.
