Given below are two statements : Statement I : One mole of propyne reacts with excess of sodium to liberate half a mole of gas. Statement II : Four g of propyne reacts with to liberate gas which occupies 224 mL at STP. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- BStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- DStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Correct answer: D
-
Identify the compound
Propyne is a terminal alkyne:
Terminal alkynes contain one acidic hydrogen attached to the carbon of the triple bond.
-
Check Statement I
Reaction of a terminal alkyne with sodium metal:
Thus, 2 moles of terminal alkyne give 1 mole of .
Therefore, 1 mole of propyne gives:
So, Statement I is correct.
-
Check Statement II
Reaction of propyne with sodium amide:
Stoichiometry shows:
-
Moles of propyne in 4 g
Molar mass of propyne :
Moles of propyne:
Hence moles of liberated:
-
Volume of at STP
At STP, 1 mole gas occupies:
So volume of mol :
But the statement says 224 mL, which is incorrect.
Therefore, Statement II is incorrect.
-
Final conclusion
- Statement I: Correct
- Statement II: Incorrect
Therefore, the correct option is:
