The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compound (X) with the molecular formula \( C_4H_8O_2 \) and determine the carboxylic acid (Y) and alcohol (Z) produced from its hydrolysis. ### Step 1: Identify Compound X The molecular formula of compound (X) is \( C_4H_8O_2 \). This formula suggests that (X) could be an ester, as esters typically have the general formula \( RCOOR' \) where \( R \) and \( R' \) are hydrocarbon chains. ### Step 2: Propose a Structure for X Let's consider a possible structure for (X): - One possible structure is Ethyl acetate, which can be represented as: \[ CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 \] This structure has: - 4 Carbon atoms - 8 Hydrogen atoms - 2 Oxygen atoms ### Step 3: Hydrolysis of X When (X) is hydrolyzed in the presence of water and an acid, it breaks down into a carboxylic acid (Y) and an alcohol (Z). The hydrolysis of ethyl acetate can be represented as: \[ CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COOH + CH_3CH_2OH \] Here: - (Y) is Acetic acid (\( CH_3COOH \)) - (Z) is Ethanol (\( CH_3CH_2OH \)) ### Step 4: Oxidation of Z Next, we need to check the oxidation of (Z) with chromic acid. Ethanol (\( CH_3CH_2OH \)) is oxidized to acetic acid (\( CH_3COOH \)): \[ CH_3CH_2OH + [O] \rightarrow CH_3COOH \] This confirms that (Z) oxidizes to give (Y). ### Conclusion Thus, we can summarize: - Compound (X) is Ethyl acetate (\( CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 \)) - Carboxylic acid (Y) is Acetic acid (\( CH_3COOH \)) - Alcohol (Z) is Ethanol (\( CH_3CH_2OH \)) ### Final Answer: - \( X = \text{Ethyl acetate} \) - \( Y = \text{Acetic acid} \) - \( Z = \text{Ethanol} \)

To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compound (X) with the molecular formula \( C_4H_8O_2 \) and determine the carboxylic acid (Y) and alcohol (Z) produced from its hydrolysis. ### Step 1: Identify Compound X The molecular formula of compound (X) is \( C_4H_8O_2 \). This formula suggests that (X) could be an ester, as esters typically have the general formula \( RCOOR' \) where \( R \) and \( R' \) are hydrocarbon chains. ### Step 2: Propose a Structure for X Let's consider a possible structure for (X): - One possible structure is Ethyl acetate, which can be represented as: ...
