Q. An organic compound on heating with CuO produces $CO_{2}$ but no water. The organic compound may be
A) Carbon tetrachloride
B) Chloroform
C) Methane
D) Ethyl iodide
Explanation
(a)
Since, the compound on heating with CuO produced$CO_{2}$, it contains carbon. Again, it does not produce water, hence it does not contain hydrogen. So, the organic compound is carbon tetrachloride $(CCl_{4})$.
