The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of cumene with O2 and H2O in the presence of H+, we will break down the steps involved in the reactions and identify the products (X and Y). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Cumene**: - Cumene is also known as isopropylbenzene. Its structure can be represented as: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{C(CH}_3\text{)}_2 \] - This consists of a benzene ring (C6H5) attached to an isopropyl group (C(CH3)2). 2. **Reaction with O2**: - When cumene reacts with oxygen (O2), it undergoes oxidation. This reaction typically leads to the formation of phenol and acetone. The reaction can be summarized as: \[ \text{Cumene} \xrightarrow{O_2} \text{Phenol} + \text{Acetone} \] - Therefore, the product (X) formed from the reaction with O2 is **Phenol**. 3. **Reaction with H2O in the presence of H+**: - The next step involves the reaction of cumene with water (H2O) in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+). This reaction also leads to the formation of phenol and acetone: \[ \text{Cumene} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow{H^+} \text{Phenol} + \text{Acetone} \] - Thus, the product (Y) formed from this reaction is **Acetone**. 4. **Final Identification of Products**: - From the above reactions, we can conclude: - (X) = **Phenol** - (Y) = **Acetone** ### Final Answer: (X) is **Phenol** and (Y) is **Acetone**.
