The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the hydrocarbons P, Q, and R, we need to analyze their structures and the reactions they undergo based on the given hydrogen ratios. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Hydrocarbons**: - Given the ratio of hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbons P, Q, and R is 3:2:1, we can assign the following molecular formulas based on the same number of carbon atoms (let's assume 2 carbon atoms for simplicity): - P (C2H6): Ethane - Q (C2H4): Ethene - R (C2H2): Ethyne 2. **Determine the Type of Hydrocarbons**: - P (C2H6) is an alkane (single bonds). - Q (C2H4) is an alkene (double bonds). - R (C2H2) is an alkyne (triple bonds). 3. **Analyze the Reactions**: - **P (C2H6)**: As an alkane, it does not undergo addition reactions due to the absence of double or triple bonds. - **Q (C2H4)**: As an alkene, it can undergo addition reactions and will decolorize bromine water. - **R (C2H2)**: As an alkyne, it can also undergo addition reactions and will decolorize bromine water. 4. **Evaluate the Statements**: - The statement "P is not undergoing an addition reaction" is **true**. - The statement "Q and R decolorize bromine water" is **true**. - The statement "Both Q and R give a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution dissolved in NH4OH" is **false**. Only alkynes (like R) can form a white precipitate with AgNO3. 5. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement regarding the reactions shown by P, Q, and R is that both Q and R give a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution. ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement about the reactions shown by P, Q, and R is that both Q and R give a white precipitate with AgNO3 solution dissolved in NH4OH.
