AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds in order of increasing reactivity towards HCN (hydrogen cyanide), we need to consider the steric hindrance around the carbonyl group in each compound. The more sterically hindered a compound is, the less reactive it will be towards nucleophiles like HCN. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: - Acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) - Acetone (CH₃COCH₃) - Di-tertiary butyl ketone ((CH₃)₃C-CO-(CH₃)₃C) ...
