    When acetaldehyde is heated with Fehling solution, a red precipitate is formed. Which of the following is that?

    A) \[C{{u}_{2}}O\]                

    B) \[Cu\]

    C)  \[CuO\]                              

    D)  \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    When acetaldehyde is heated with Fehling solution, a red precipitate of \[C{{u}_{2}}O\] is obtained. \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO+2Cu{{(OH)}_{2}}+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}\]                 \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa+\underset{red}{\mathop{C{{u}_{2}}O}}\,\downarrow +3{{H}_{2}}O\]
