Please explain the answer

when you add KOH dissolved in ethanol it will remove bromine and a hydrogen from the compound and also form a double bond b/w the second and the third carbon showing cis-trans isomerism which forms a total of three isomers thus answer is B.

Q:39

statement 1: Consider an aldehyde ethanal being reacted with HCN it will increase a carbon in the compound thus increasing the length and also add a nitrile.
Statement 2: in order to remove the nitrile we add NaOH to hydrolyse it and remove the N and make acid. thus forming the required compound....
S:3 in order to form aldehyde we oxidise it gently(mild) then remove it by DISTILLATION which is not stated here thus 3 is wrong.

Q:2 2017/13/june

X + H2O------>Al(OH)3 + hydrocarbon gas(HC)..unknown
HC(g) + O2------>H2O + CO2

cancel out the hydrocarbon and water molecules from both side of the equations to make it an overall equation
considering option D.

Al4C3 + 9O2+ 12H+ ------>4Al(OH)3 + 3CO2
mol of CO2=108/24000=4.5*10-3
3:1.......mol of Al4C3=1.5*10-3
Mr=144
option D is correct.
