Acetone

D

Salicylic acid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Ignition test - burning with a sooty flame indicates presence of aromatic compound .
Negative test toward's Tollen's reagent indicates absence of aldehydes .
Positive test for Borsche's reagent test indicates ketones (possibility of aldehydes being nullified) .
So 'A' is an aromatic ketone .
