C2H5Cl + KCN xrightarrowC2H5OH underset(X)C2H5CN + KCl C2H5CN xrightarrow[Δ]H3O+, 2H2O undersetYC2H5COOH + NH3 So, the molecular formula of the Y is C 3 H 6 O 2.

Q. In the reaction sequence,
$C_{2} H_{5} Cl + K CN C_{2} H_{5} O H X H_{3} O^{\oplus} Δ$
What is the molecular formula of $Y$ ?

$C_{3} H_{6} O_{2}$

$C_{3} H_{5} N$

$C_{2} H_{4} O_{2}$

$C_{2} H_{6} O$

$C_{2} H_{5} Cl + K CN C_{2} H_{5} O H (X) C_{2} H_{5} CN + K Cl$
$C_{2} H_{5} CN H_{3} O^{+}, 2 H_{2} O Δ Y C_{2} H_{5} COO H + N H_{3}$
So, the molecular formula of the $Y$ is $C_{3} H_{6} O_{2}$ .
