Question

$C_{2}H_{5}Cl + KCN\overset{\quad\quad}{\rightarrow}X\overset{\quad\text{Hydrolysis}\quad}{\rightarrow}Y.$ 'X' and 'Y' are.

• A. $C_{2}H_{6}$ and $C_{2}H_{5}CN$
• B. $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}OH,$ and $CH_{3} - CHOH - CH_{3}$
• C. $CH_{3} - C(CH_{3})(OH) - CH_{3}$ and $C_{2}H_{5}CH_{2}NH_{2}$
• D. $C_{2}H_{5}CN$ and $C_{2}H_{5}COOH$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$C_{2}H_{5}CN$ and $C_{2}H_{5}COOH$

Answer 2

$C_{2}H_{5}Cl + KCN \rightarrow \underset{(X)}{\underset{\text{Ethylcyanide}}{C_{2}H_{5}CN}}\overset{\quad\text{Hydrolysis}\quad}{\rightarrow}\underset{(Y)}{\underset{\text{Propanoicacid}}{C_{2}H_{5}COOH}}$
