Carbon and its Compounds Q34(a) — Class 10 Chemistry Solution

Chemistry-10th Carbon and its Compounds CBSE Board 2023 Medium

A neutral organic compound 'X' (Molecular formula

C_{2} H_{6} O

) on reacting with acidified

K_{2} Cr_{2} O_{7}

gives an organic compound 'Y' which is acidic in nature. 'X' reacts with 'Y' on warming in the presence of conc.

H_{2} SO_{4}

to give a sweet smelling compound 'Z'.

(i)Identify 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'.
(ii)Write the chemical equations for the reactions in the conversion of (1) 'X' to 'Y' and (2) 'X' to 'Z'. (iii) State the role of (1) acidified $K_{2} Cr_{2} O_{7}$ in the conversion of 'X' to 'Y' and (2) conc. $H_{2} SO_{4}$ in the reaction of 'X' and 'Y'. (iv) Name the reaction which occurs when 'Z' reacts with an alkali.
