Question
A neutral compound'X' of molecular formula C2H60 on oxidation with
acidified potassium dichromate gives a compound 'Y' .Compound 'X' react
with 'Y' on warming in presence of conc.H2S04 to give a sweet smelling
substance 'Z'. What are 'X','Y', and'Z'? Give equations of the reaction
involved.

Solution
\[\ce{\underset{\text{(X)}}{C2H5OH} ->[O] CH3CHO ->[O] \underset{\text{(Y)}}{CH3COOH}}\]
\[\ce{\underset{\text{(Y)}}{CH3COOH} + \underset{\text{(Y)}}{C2H5OH} ->[concH2SO4][\Delta] \underset{\text{(Y)}}{CH3COOC2H5}}\]
'X' = Ethyl alchohol
'Y' = Ethanoic acid
'Z' = Ethyl ethanoate
