An oxygen containing organic compound was found to contain 52% carbon and 13 % of hydrogen . Its vapour density is 23 . The compound reacts with sodium metal to liberate hydrogen . A functional isomer of this compound is

A

Ethanol

B

Ethanal

C

Methoxy methane

D

Methoxy ethane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Vapour density `=23` . Molecular mass `=23xx2=46`
`underset("Ethanol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)overset(NaOH)toCH_(3)CH_(2)ONa+(1)/(2)H_(2)`
Functional isomer of ethanol is methoxymethane.
