Identify the functional group that would be expected to be found in the final product upon completion of the reaction between 1-hexyne and a mixture of mercuric sulfate and aqueous sulfuric acid. ketone carboxylic acid aldehyde diol ether

Ketone.

Explanation:

Alkynes experience additions of water catalyzed by acids, across the triple bond in the presence of mercuric ion as a catalyst. Generally, a mixture of mercuric sulfate and aqueous sulfuric acid is used.

Under acidic conditions, mercury is replaced by hydrogen to form a vinyl alcohol, called enol.

Enoles tend to be unstable and isomerize in ketones. This quick equilibrium is known as the keto-enol tautomerism.

each  column  of the  table  is called a group. elements in a group share similar properties. groups are  read  from  top  to  bottom. metal. metalloid. nonmetal. solid. liquid. gas. fe. hg. o.  2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.  2. beryllium. 9.012. 4.  sodium. 22.990.  11. 3.  magnesium. 24.305.  12.  potassium. 39.098.  19. 4.  calcium. 40.078.  20. i guess  i  

i wish i could but this one is weird give me abc and i can solve it.
