Question

$C{H}_{3}C{H}_{2}Cl\stackrel{aq.KOH}{\to }X\stackrel{K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7/H^{+}}{\to }Y$
Which of the following represents Y?

• A. Ethylene
• B. Acetic acid
• C. Acetylene
• D. Acetone

Answer 1

The correct option is B Acetic acid

Ethyl chloride is subjected to substitution and displacement reactions with aqueous $KOH$ and it forms a product of Ethyl Alcohol.
Ethyl alcohol reacts with $K_{2}C{r}_2{O}_7/H^{+}$ to form acetic acid. Hence, the correct answer is option (b). Thus Y is acetic acid.
