When 1-pentyne (A) is treated with 4 N alcoholic KOH at 17S°C, it is converted slowly into an equilibrium mixture of 1.3% I-pentyne (A), 95.2% 2-pentyne (B) and 3.5% of 1,2- pentadiene (C). The equilibrium was maintained at 175°C. Calculate AGO for the following equilibria :B ⇌ A ∆Go1 =? B ⇌ C ∆Go2 =?From the calculated value of ∆Go1 and ∆Go2 indicate the order of stability of (A), (B) and (C). Write a reasonable reaction mechanism showing all intermediates leading to (A), (B) and (C).
