Which of the following hydrocarbons give acid base reaction?
Correct answer: A. Toluene
- A. Toluene
- B. 2-butyne
- C. 1-butyne
- D. 2-butene
Explanation
EToluene, which is a hydrocarbon, does not typically undergo acid-base reactions. Hydrocarbons are generally considered to be nonpolar and do not contain any functional groups that can donate or accept protons, which are involved in acid-base reactions. However, if toluene is exposed to strong oxidizing agents or undergoes certain chemical transformations, it can be oxidized or undergo other reactions that may result in the formation of acidic or basic products. 🌟

About Alkynes
Alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a carbon-carbon triple bond, with sp-hybridised carbon atoms and a linear arrangement around the bond. The content includes nomenclature, preparation, acidity of terminal alkynes, and addition reactions with hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides and water, as well as oxidation.
