Propyne

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Propyne $(CH_3C \equiv CH)$ is a terminal alkyne containing an acidic hydrogen atom attached to an $sp$ hybridized carbon.Terminal alkynes react with ammoniacal silver nitrate ($AgNO_3 + NH_4OH$,also known as Tollen's reagent) to form a white precipitate of silver acetylide.$CH_3C \equiv CH + [Ag(NH_3)_2]^+ + OH^- 	o CH_3C \equiv CAg \downarrow + 2NH_3 + H_2O$Non-terminal alkynes like $2-$butyne do not have acidic hydrogen atoms and therefore do not react with ammoniacal $AgNO_3$.
