Propanol

C

Propyl hydrogen sulphate

D

Propanone

Answer

Propanone

Explanation

Solution

CH3CCH+H2OH2SO4/HgSO4\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } - \mathrm { C } \equiv \mathrm { CH } + \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } \xrightarrow { \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { SO } _ { 4 } / \mathrm { HgSO } _ { 4 } }
