Question:
Propyne and propene can be distinguished by
Propyne and propene can be distinguished by
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- concentrated $H_2SO_4$
- $Br_2$ in $CCl_4$
- dilute $KMnO_4$
- $AgNO_3$ in ammonia
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Terminal alkynes forms silver salt with Tollen's reagent while alkene does not react with Tollen's reagent.
$CH_3 - C \equiv C - H+ AgNO_3 \, \, \xrightarrow{NH_3(aq)} CH_3- C \equiv C\, Ag \downarrow $
$\hspace85mm _{}^{white\, ppt}$
Therefore, Tollen's reagent can be used to distinguish a terminal alkyne like propyne from alkene as well as from internal alkynes.
$CH_3 - C \equiv C - H+ AgNO_3 \, \, \xrightarrow{NH_3(aq)} CH_3- C \equiv C\, Ag \downarrow $
$\hspace85mm _{}^{white\, ppt}$
Therefore, Tollen's reagent can be used to distinguish a terminal alkyne like propyne from alkene as well as from internal alkynes.

Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic Compounds can be classified into:
Classification based on the structure:
The classification of organic compounds is based on structure such as:
- Acyclic or open chain compounds - Acyclic compounds are just opposite to cyclic compounds because their molecules don’t form any ring. It is called open-chain compounds because they have a linear structure.
- Cyclic or closed chain compounds - Cyclic compounds are also known as “Ring compounds.”
