Q. In the following reaction:
$C_{2} H_{2} H_{2} O HgS O_{4} / H_{2} S O_{4} X C H_{3} C H O$
What is X?

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$

$C H_{3} - O - C H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H O$

$C H_{2} = C H O H$

$ACetylene H C \equiv C H H_{2} O HgS O_{4} / H_{2} S O_{4}$

Q. In the following reaction: C2​H2​H2​OHgSO4​/H2​SO4​​X​CH3​CHO What is X?

CH3​CH2​OH

CH3​−O−CH3​

CH3​CH2​CHO

CH2​=CHOH
