Explanation / Answer

5) option B is correct

Explanation: Addition of Br2 forms dibromo compound as product. NaNH2 gives dehydrohalogenation and prodcues alkyne as product.

6) option C is correct

Explanation: Addition of HCl to alkyne produces more substituted alkyl halide as product.

7) option C is correct

Explanation: Na, NH3 converts alkyne to trans-alkene.

8) option A is correct

9) optoin B is correct

Explanation: Reduction of alkyne with H2, Lindlard's catalyst produces alkene as product. Addition of HBr, peroxide to alkene produces the required alkyl halide as product.
