Q. What are $X$ and $Y$ in the following reaction sequence
$C_{2} H_{5} O H C l_{2} \underline{X} C l_{2} \underline{Y}$

$C_{2} H_{5} Cl, C H_{3} C H O$

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

$C H_{3} C H O, CC l_{3} C H O$

$C_{2} H_{5} Cl, CC l_{3} C H O$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} O H + C l_{2} -2 HCl acetaldehyde X C H_{3} C H O$
$-3 HCl 3 C l_{2} chloral Y CC l_{3} C H O$
