The functional group that is expected to be present in the final product between 1-hexyne and mixture of mercuric sulfate and aqueous sulfuric acid is Ketone.
In organic chemistry, ketone is a functional group with the structure R–C–R', where R and R' can be various carbon-containing substituents. Ketones contain a carbonyl group –C– and the simplest ketone is acetone, with the formula CH₃CCH₃.
The reaction between 1-hexyne and mercuric sulphate in the presence of aqueous Sulphuric acid is a reaction that forms a product containing a carbonyl group.
The reaction occurs in alkynes but product formed depends on the structure of the alkyne. An aldehyde or ketone can be formed depending on the structure of the alkyne.
