Question

(ii) An alkene 'A' contains three C-C, eight C-H σ -bonds and
one C-C π - bond 'A' on ozonolysis gives two moles of an
aldehyde of molar mass 44 Write the structure and IUPAC name of 'A'
Write the equation of its ozonolysis

Dear Student,

Since the aldehyde has 44 amu, it has to be Ethanal (
C2H4O)
Molar mass of Ethanal = 2 x C + 4 x H + O = 12 x 2 + 4 + 16 = 24 +
4 + 16 = 44 amu

Since two moles of ethanal are formed, it has to be formed from an
alkene containing 4 carbon groups
Thus, it is formed from 2-Butene
Thus, A is 2-Butene

Hope it helps
