The term Y is,

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

$SnCl_{2}+2HCl\left(g\right) \rightarrow SnCl_{4}+2\left[\right.H\left]\right.$
$CH_{3}CN+2\left[H\right]+HCl \rightarrow CH_{3}CH=NH.HCl\underset{b o i l}{\overset{H_{2} O}{ \rightarrow }}CH_{3}CHO+NH_{4}Cl$
(X) (Y)
(X) is acetaldimine hydrochloride and (Y) is acetaldehyde.
