In the reaction sequence,
\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{KCN} \stackrel{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}}{\longrightarrow} X \underset{\Delta}{\stackrel{\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{\oplus}}{\longrightarrow}}$$Y\)
What is the molecular formula of \(Y\) ?
- A \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{~N}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4 \mathrm{O}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{KCN} \stackrel{\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{CN} (X)+\mathrm{KCl}\) So, the molecular formula of the \(Y\) is \(\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{O}_2\).
