Solution

Propyne can be converted into propanal by the reaction of propyne with 40% $H_{2} S O_{4}$ and 1% $H g S O_{4}$ . In this reaction, the hydration of the propyne group takes place followed by the tautomerism to form acetone as a product.
$C H_{3} - C \equiv C H 40 % H_{2} S O_{4} - ------ \to (i) % H g S O_{4} C H_{3} - (C O) - C H_{3} a c e t o n e$
