The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given reactions and identify the product (B) formed from the starting material. ### Step 1: Identify the starting material The starting material is H-C≡C-H, which is ethyne (acetylene). ### Step 2: First Reaction with H₂SO₄ and HgSO₄ When ethyne is treated with sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) in the presence of mercury(II) sulfate (HgSO₄), it undergoes hydration to form an intermediate enol, which then tautomerizes to form a ketone. The reaction can be summarized as follows: - Ethyne reacts with H₂SO₄ and HgSO₄ to form acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO). ### Step 3: Hydrolysis The product from the first step (acetaldehyde) can undergo hydrolysis. However, in this case, the hydrolysis is not necessary as we already have the aldehyde. ### Step 4: Reaction with NH₃ and HCN Next, acetaldehyde reacts with ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). This reaction leads to the formation of a cyanohydrin. The cyanohydrin will have the following structure: - The carbonyl carbon of acetaldehyde will bond with NH₂ from ammonia and CN from HCN, resulting in the formation of a compound with an amino group (NH₂) and a cyano group (CN). ### Step 5: Final Product Formation Upon hydrolysis of the cyanohydrin, the cyano group (CN) will be converted into a carboxylic acid (COOH). The final product will have the structure: - CH₃-CH(NH₂)-COOH, which is the structure of alanine. ### Conclusion Thus, the product (B) of the given reaction is alanine. ### Final Answer Product (B) is alanine. ---
