On reaction with sodium, 1 mol of a compound X gives 1 ~mol of H ₂ . Which one of the following compounds might be X ?

Step-by-step solution

Since 1 mole of compound Xreacts with Na to evolve 1 mole of H ₂ gas, therefore the compound should have 2 active hydrogen atoms per mole which is possible only in option d . array l CH ₂ OHCH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ OH +2 Na NaOCH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ ONa +2 H array
