An aliphatic hydrocarbon A on treatment ...

An aliphatic hydrocarbon A on treatment with sulfuric acid in the oresence of `HgSO_(4)` yields a liquid B with molecular formula `C_(2)H_(4)O`. B on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate yields C which gives effervescence with sodiumn bicarbonte. C when treated with `SOCl_(2)` gives D. When D reacts with ethanol, it gives a sweet smelling liquid E. E is also formed when C reacts with ethanol in the presence of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`
Write the balanced equation for the conversion of A to B.
