When ethyne is subjected to ozonolysis of, what is the end product
Correct answer: C. Formic acid
- A. Glucose
- B. Oxalic acid
- C. Formic acid
- D. Acetic acid
Explanation
During ozonolysis of ethyne, the triple bond is cleaved, resulting in the formation of a single carbon atom containing carboxylic acid, which is formic acid (HCOOH). This is why option C, Formic acid, is the correct answer. The other options, Glucose, Oxalic acid, and Acetic acid, are incorrect because they do not align with the products formed during the ozonolysis of alkynes.
