Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline X & Y & Z \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} 85 \% \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4 \\ 440 \mathrm{~K} \end{array} & \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4, 443 \mathrm{~K} & \begin{array}{l} 20 \% \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4 \\ 358 \mathrm{~K} \end{array} \\ \hline \end{array}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
These reactions are known as dehydration reactions where \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{PO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) are dehydrating agents. Ethanol undergo dehydration by heating with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at \(443 \mathrm{~K}\) whereas \(2^{\circ}\)…
