    Ketone

    Explanation:

    The reaction between 1-hexyne and mercuric sulphate in the presences of aqueous sulphuric acid is a reaction that leads to the formation of a product containing a carbonyl group (a ketone in this case).

    This reaction occurs in alkynes but the product formed depends on the structure of the alkyne; an aldehyde or ketone may be formed depending on the structure of the alkyne.
