What happens when propyne is oxidised with Baeyer's reagent (alkaline KMnO4) at 298 - 303 K?
Mention two reagents which can be used to distinguish between ethene and ethyne.
(i) Ammoniacal silver nitrate (Tollen's reagent).
(ii) Ammoniacal cuprous chloride solution.
Although acetylene is acidic in nature, yet it does not react with NaOH or KOH. Explain.
List the following in order of increasing acidity: propyne, water, propene and propane.
