Q. Which of the following compounds react with, an aqueous solution of$Ag\left( NH_{2} \right)_{2}OH$?
A) ethane
B) Ethene
C) 1-butyne
D) 2-butyne
Explanation
(c)
Due to acidic nature of the hydrogen atoms attached to a triple bond, acetylenes and terminal alkynes from metal acetylides
$CH_{3}CH_{2}C \equiv CH + AgNO_{3} + NH_{4}OH \rightarrow CH_{3}{CH}_{2}C \equiv CAg + NH_{4}NO_{3} + H_{2}O$ silver butynide
