Correct answer: D
- Identify products formed with one mole of
But-2-yne is:
On catalytic hydrogenation with one mole of hydrogen:
- cis-addition gives cis-but-2-ene
- trans-addition / dissolving metal type reduction gives trans-but-2-ene
So let:
- cis-but-2-ene
- trans-but-2-ene
This is the standard comparison for properties of cis/trans alkenes.
- Check statement A: “A is more soluble than B.”
Cis isomer has a net dipole moment, while trans isomer is nearly non-polar. Hence cis-but-2-ene is relatively more soluble in polar solvents than trans-but-2-ene.
So statement A is correct.
- Check statement B: “The boiling point & melting point of A are higher and lower than B respectively.”
For cis/trans alkenes:
- cis isomer is more polar stronger intermolecular attraction higher boiling point
- trans isomer is more symmetrical packs better in crystal lattice higher melting point
Therefore:
- boiling point of (cis) is higher than (trans)
- melting point of is lower than
So statement B is correct.
- Check statement C: “A is more polar than B because dipole moment of A is zero.”
This statement is self-contradictory.
For but-2-ene:
- cis-but-2-ene has non-zero dipole moment
- trans-but-2-ene has dipole moment nearly zero due to cancellation
Thus is indeed more polar than , but not because dipole moment of is zero.
So statement C is incorrect.
- Check statement D: “ adds easily to B than A.”
Addition of to alkene depends mainly on electron density of the double bond and steric effects. In this cis/trans pair, cis-2-butene generally reacts more readily than trans due to steric/electronic factors in bromonium ion formation.
Hence saying that bromine adds more easily to B (trans) than A (cis) is incorrect.
So statement D is incorrect.
