The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given organic compound with the formula C₃H₅N and determine which compound it could be based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of C₃H₅N**: - The molecular formula C₃H₅N indicates that the compound is likely unsaturated since it has fewer hydrogens than a saturated compound (which would have C₃H₈N). - This suggests the presence of either a double bond or a triple bond. 2. **Consider Possible Functional Groups**: - The compound could be a nitrile (R-C≡N) or an isocyanate (R-N=C=O). - Let's explore both possibilities. 3. **Case 1: Nitrile (C₂H₅CN)**: - If we consider the structure as a nitrile (specifically ethyl cyanide, C₂H₅CN), hydrolysis of this compound would yield acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and ammonia (NH₃). - Acetic acid does not reduce Fehling's solution, as it is not an aldehyde. 4. **Case 2: Isocyanate (C₂H₅NCO)**: - If we consider the structure as an isocyanate (specifically ethyl isocyanate, C₂H₅NCO), hydrolysis of this compound would yield an amine (ethylamine, CH₃CH₂NH₂) and formic acid (HCOOH). - Formic acid is known to reduce Fehling's solution because it is an aldehyde in its tautomeric form. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the hydrolysis of the isocyanate leads to the formation of formic acid, which can reduce Fehling's solution, the correct answer is that the compound is **isocyanoethane (C₂H₅NCO)**. ### Final Answer: The compound can be **isocyanoethane (C₂H₅NCO)**.
