Chemistry Question on Aldehydes, Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Identify X and Yin the following sequence ofreactions CH3CHO→HNO3X→P4O10YCH_3CHO \xrightarrow{HNO_3} X \xrightarrow{P_4O_{10}} Y

A

X−C2H5OH,   Y−C2H4 X - C_2H_5OH, \, \, \, Y - C_2H_4

B

X−CH3CO2H,   Y−(CH3CO)2O X - CH_3CO_2H, \, \, \, Y - (CH_3CO)_2O

C

X−CH3CO2H,   Y−CH3CO2CH3X - CH_3CO_2H, \, \, \, Y - CH_3CO_2CH_3

D

X−C2H5OH,   Y−CH3CO2HX - C_2H_5OH, \, \, \, Y - CH_3CO_2H

Answer

X−CH3CO2H,   Y−(CH3CO)2O X - CH_3CO_2H, \, \, \, Y - (CH_3CO)_2O

Explanation

Solution

CH3CHO→HNO3CH3COOH(X)→P4O10(CH3CO)2O(Y)CH_3CHO \xrightarrow{HNO_3} \underset{(X)}{CH_3COOH} \xrightarrow{P_4O_{10}} \underset{(Y)}{(CH_3CO)_2O}
