One mole of a symmetrical alkene on ozonolysis gives two moles of an aldehyde

• Hydrocarbons
• Organic Oxygen

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

1. 1-butene
2. 2-butene
3. propene
4. ethene

Answer

Molar mass is 44, so aldehyde is CH₃CHO

Symmetrical alkene will be CH₃CH=CHCH₃ (2-butene)

The correct option is B.
