AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the possible structures of compound B (C4H8O) Given that compound A (C4H8Cl2) hydrolyzes to form compound B (C4H8O), we can deduce that B could be an alcohol or an ether due to the presence of the oxygen atom. The possible structures for B can be: 1. **Butanol (1-butanol)**: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH 2. **Isobutanol (2-methyl-1-propanol)**: (CH3)2CH-CH2-OH 3. **Butan-2-ol**: CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-CH3 ...
