    One mole of a symmetrical alkene on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde having a molecular mass of 44u. The alkene is

    A)  ethane

    B)  propene

    C)   but-1-ene

    D)   but-2-ene

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The aldehyde with molecular mass \[44\,\,u\] is \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\] (acetaldehyde). Therefore, the symmetrical alkene is but-2-ene. \[\underset{but-2-ene}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH=CHC{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow[(ii)\,\,Zn/{{H}_{2}}O]{(i)\,\,{{O}_{3}}}\underset{acetaldehyde}{\mathop{2C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,\]
