A colourless organic liquied X of molecular formula `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)` turns blue litmus lto red . Another colourless oranic liquid Y of molecular formula `C_(3)H_(6)O` has no action on any litmus but it is used as a nail polish remover. A yet another colourless organic liquid Z of molecular formula `C_(2)H_(6)O` has also no action onlitmus but it us used in tincture of iodine.
(a) Name the liquid X. To which homologous series does it belong? Give the name of another memebver of this homologous series .
(b) Name the liquid y. To which homologous series doeds it belong ? Wirte the name of naother memeber of this homologous series
(c ) Can you name an organic compound having the same molecular formula as liquid Y but which belongs to a different homologus series? What is this homologous series ?
(d) Name the liquid Z.To which homologous series does it belong ? Write the name of another member of this homologous series.
