Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option B describes a reaction that would not proceed as written because it suggests that a hydrocarbon (with a triple bond) reacts with NaOH to form a sodium salt and water, which is not a typical acid-base reaction. Hydrocarbons like alkynes do not typically react with bases like NaOH in this manner.
