Question

An organic liquid has an empirical formula $C_{5} H_{10} O$ . This liquid gives a pale yellow precipitate on warming with iodine in alkaline KI solution. The resulting salt upon acidification gives an acid, which easily undergoes decarboxylation on mild heating. The structural formula of the organic liquid could be

Options:

Answer:

B

Solution:

C₅H1₀O gives positive iodoform test therefore must consist of three α–hydrogen. Now the acid under goes decarboxylation means the (–ve) charge is stable
