Q. $2$-Chlorobutane $\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text { Alc. KoH }} \underset{\text{(Major)}}{X} \xrightarrow[ii. Zn/H_2O]{i. O_3} Y$
Methyl formate $+$ Ethyl magnesium bromide $\xrightarrow[ii.H^+,H_2O]{i. \text{Dry ether}}$
Product ' $Y$ ' and ' $P$ ' differ in molecular mass by____. $u$

Aldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic Acids

Solution:

Acetaldehyde $(Y)$ and propionaldehyde $(P)$ are homologues of each other. They differ by one $- CH _{2}$ unit.
Hence, they differ in molecular mass by $14\, u$.
