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

    A)  ethene              

    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. \[\underset{\text{but}-2-\text{ene}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}CH}}\,=CHC{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow[(ii)\,Zn/{{H}_{2}}O]{(i)\,{{O}_{3}}}\underset{\text{acetaldehyde}}{\mathop{2C{{H}_{3}}CHO}}\,\]
