Identify the compounds A, B and C:
(i) C6H5COOHPCl5−−−−−−AHzPd/BaSO4−−−−−−−−−−−−BKCN(alc)−−−−−−−−−distilC
(ii) HCCHH2O−−−−−−−−−−−−−−dilH2SO4+HgSO4A H2−−−−Ni B140oC−−−−−−−−−−concH2SO4C

Solution

(i) Benzoic acid reacts with PCl5 to form benzoyl chloride. Reduction with H2Pd/BaSO4 gives benzaldehdye. Reaction with alcoholic KCN gives cyanohydrin.

(ii) Hydration of ethyne with H2O/HgSO4/H2SO4 gives acetaldehyde. Hydrogenation in presence of Ni catalyst gives ethanol. On heating with conc sulphuric acid at 140oC, diethyl ether is obtained.
