The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not true regarding the reactions involving the compound \( C_2H_5OC_2H_5 \) (diethyl ether), we will analyze the reactions and the properties of the products formed. ### Step 1: Identify the Reaction Products The compound \( C_2H_5OC_2H_5 \) can decompose to form peroxides and hydroperoxides. These products are known to be unstable and can lead to explosive reactions. **Hint:** Consider the nature of ethers and their decomposition products. ### Step 2: Analyze the Properties of A and B From the decomposition of diethyl ether, we can identify that: - **A** and **B** are likely peroxides or hydroperoxides. - These compounds are known to be explosive. **Hint:** Recall the characteristics of peroxides and hydroperoxides. ### Step 3: Check the Statements 1. **Statement A**: Peroxides and hydroperoxides are explosives. - This statement is true. 2. **Statement B**: Peroxides and hydroperoxides are present in ether. - This statement is also true. 3. **Statement C**: They cannot be removed by concentrated \( H_2SO_4 \). - This statement is true; they are inert to concentrated sulfuric acid. 4. **Statement D**: The reaction of A and B with \( Fe^{2+} \) followed by \( KCN \) does not involve a redox reaction. - This statement is false; the reaction does involve a redox process where \( Fe^{2+} \) is oxidized to \( Fe^{3+} \). **Hint:** Evaluate each statement based on the chemical behavior of the compounds involved. ### Step 4: Conclusion The statement that is not true is **Statement D**, as it incorrectly claims that the reaction does not involve a redox process. **Final Answer:** The incorrect statement is **D**.
