The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the structure and IUPAC name of the alkene ‘A’ based on the provided information about its bonds and the products formed during ozonolysis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Number of Carbon Atoms:** - The alkene ‘A’ has 3 C-C bonds and 1 C-C π bond. - Each C-C bond contributes to the total number of carbon atoms. Since there are 3 C-C bonds, we can deduce that there are 4 carbon atoms in total (because the first bond connects two carbons, and each additional bond connects another carbon). 2. **Determine the Number of Hydrogen Atoms:** - The alkene has 8 C-H σ bonds. Each C-H bond corresponds to a hydrogen atom. - Therefore, the alkene has 8 hydrogen atoms. 3. **Construct the Alkene Structure:** - Given that it is an alkene with 4 carbon atoms and 1 double bond (C-C π bond), we can start constructing the structure. - The general formula for alkenes is CnH2n, which for n=4 gives C4H8. However, we have 8 hydrogen atoms, which fits the formula for an alkene with a double bond. - A possible structure that fits this description is but-2-ene (CH3-CH=CH-CH3). 4. **Ozonolysis Reaction:** - The problem states that ozonolysis of ‘A’ gives two moles of an aldehyde with a molar mass of 44 u. - The aldehyde formed from but-2-ene upon ozonolysis is acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), which has a molar mass of 44 u (C=12, H=1, O=16). 5. **Final Structure Verification:** - The structure of but-2-ene is CH3-CH=CH-CH3. - Upon ozonolysis, it breaks down to two moles of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO). 6. **IUPAC Name:** - The IUPAC name of the alkene ‘A’ is but-2-ene. ### Conclusion: The IUPAC name of the alkene ‘A’ is **but-2-ene**. ---
