Water can be added across a triple bond in the presence of
Correct answer: B. Acid and HgSO4
- A. Acidic medium
- B. Acid and HgSO4
- C. Alkaline medium
- D. neutral medium
Explanation
Water can be added across a triple bond in alkynes in the presence of mercuric Sulfate and acid. This combination facilitates the addition of water to alkynes. The other options, such as alkaline or neutral mediums, are incorrect because the specific reagents mentioned are necessary for this reaction to occur.
