Bisulphate addition product when heated with mineral acid yield?
Correct answer: C. Starting material from which it is formed
- A. Carboxylic acid
- B. Alpha hydroxy acid
- C. Starting material from which it is formed
- D. Alpha beta unsaturated compound
Explanation
When a carbonyl compound is treated with sodium bisulphite, a bisulfite addition product is formed. This product can be decomposed by heating with mineral acid to yield the original carbonyl compound. Therefore, option c is correct.

About Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones contain the polar carbonyl group, but aldehydes are generally more readily oxidised and more reactive than ketones. Coverage includes preparation by oxidation or reduction routes, nucleophilic addition of reagents such as hydrogen cyanide and bisulfite, and tests that distinguish aldehydes from ketones.
