The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the organic compounds (A) and (B) based on the given information. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the Degree of Unsaturation The molecular formula of compound (A) is C₄H₆. We can calculate the degree of unsaturation (DU) using the formula: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{2C + 2 - H}{2} \] Where C is the number of carbon atoms and H is the number of hydrogen atoms. Substituting the values: \[ \text{DU} = \frac{2(4) + 2 - 6}{2} = \frac{8 + 2 - 6}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Degree of Unsaturation A degree of unsaturation of 2 indicates that the compound could have either: - One triple bond (alkyne) or - Two double bonds (alkenes). ### Step 3: Identify Compound (A) Since compound (A) forms a precipitate with Tollens' and Fehling's reagents, it suggests that (A) is likely a terminal alkyne. Terminal alkynes can reduce these reagents. A suitable structure for compound (A) is 1-butyne (or methylacetylene), represented as: \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C} \equiv \text{C}\text{H} \] ### Step 4: Confirm the Reaction with Tollens' and Fehling's Reagents When 1-butyne reacts with Tollens' reagent (ammonical silver nitrate), it forms a white precipitate of silver butylenide (AgC≡C-CH₃). Similarly, it will react with Fehling's solution to produce a red precipitate of copper(I) oxide. ### Step 5: Identify Compound (B) Compound (B) is an isomer of (A) and has the same molecular formula (C₄H₆). It reacts with 1 mole of Br₂ to form 1,4-dibromo-2-butene. The structure of compound (B) can be deduced as follows: \[ \text{C} \text{C} \text{C} \text{C} \] with two double bonds, specifically 1,3-butadiene: \[ \text{CH}_2=\text{CH}-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2 \] ### Step 6: Confirm the Reaction with Bromine When 1,3-butadiene reacts with bromine (Br₂), it can add across the double bonds to yield 1,4-dibromo-2-butene: \[ \text{Br}-\text{CH}_2-\text{C}=\text{C}-\text{Br}-\text{CH}_2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the compounds are: - Compound (A): 1-butyne (C₄H₆) - Compound (B): 1,3-butadiene (C₄H₆)

To solve the problem, we need to identify the organic compounds (A) and (B) based on the given information. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the Degree of Unsaturation The molecular formula of compound (A) is C₄H₆. We can calculate the degree of unsaturation (DU) using the formula: \[ \text{Degree of Unsaturation} = \frac{2C + 2 - H}{2} \] ...
