The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the organic compounds A, B, C, and D based on the reactions described. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Identify Compound A The problem states that compound A reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) to yield compound B. Since concentrated H₂SO₄ is a dehydrating agent, it suggests that compound A is likely an alcohol. A common alcohol that can undergo dehydration is ethanol (C₂H₅OH). ### Step 2: Reaction of Compound A with H₂SO₄ When ethanol (A) is heated with concentrated H₂SO₄, it undergoes dehydration to form an alkene. The reaction can be represented as follows: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] Thus, compound B is ethene (C₂H₄). ### Step 3: Reaction of Compound A with Alkaline KMnO₄ Next, compound A (ethanol) is warmed with alkaline potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), which is a strong oxidizing agent. This reaction will oxidize ethanol to acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂): \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{[O]} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2 \] Thus, compound C is acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂). ### Step 4: Reaction of Compounds C and A to form Compound D Now we need to consider the reaction of compound A (ethanol) and compound C (acetic acid) in the presence of concentrated H₂SO₄. This reaction is an esterification reaction, which produces an ester: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OOC}\text{C}_2\text{H}_5 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \] The product of this reaction is ethyl acetate (C₄H₈O₂), which is known for its fruity smell. Thus, compound D is ethyl acetate (C₄H₈O₂). ### Summary of Compounds - **Compound A**: Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) - **Compound B**: Ethene (C₂H₄) - **Compound C**: Acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂) - **Compound D**: Ethyl acetate (C₄H₈O₂)
