Question

Identify A, B, C and rewrite the chemical reactions:

\[\ce{H3C - CH2Cl + KOH_{(aq)} ->[Δ] {‘A’} ->[hot Cu][powder] {‘B’} ->[K2Cr2O7][dil. H2SO4] {‘C’}}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{\underset{Ethyl chloride}{H3C - CH2Cl} + \underset{Potassium hydroxide}{KOH_{(aq)}} ->[\Delta] \underset{(A)}{\underset{Ethyl alcohol}{H3C - CH2OH}} ->[hot Cu][powder] \underset{(B)}{\underset{Ethonol}{H3C - CHO}} ->[K2Cr2O7][dil. H2SO4] \underset{(C)}{\underset{Ethanoic acid}{H3C - COOH}}}\]
