To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compounds A, B, and C based on the reactions described. ### Step 1: Identify Compound A The problem states that an organic compound (A) reacts with phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) to produce another compound (B). PCl₅ is commonly used to convert alcohols into alkyl chlorides. Therefore, compound A is likely an alcohol. Given that the final product after hydrolysis is propan-2-ol, we can deduce that A must be an alcohol that can lead to the formation of propan-2-ol after a series of reactions. The simplest alcohol that fits this description is **isopropyl alcohol (propan-2-ol)**. However, to produce propan-2-ol, A should be **isopropyl alcohol (C₃H₈O)**. ...
