An organic compound (A) (molecular formula `C_(8)H_(16)O_(2))` was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C ). Oxidation of (C ) with chromic acid produced (B). (C ) on dehydration gives but-1-ene. Write equations for the reactions involved.

An organic compound (A) (molecular formula C8H16O2) was hydrolysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). (C) on dehydration gives but-1-ene. Write equations for the reactions involved.

(a) Explain the mechanism of a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone. (b) An organic commpound (A) (molecular formula C_(8)H_(16)O_(2) ) was hydrlysed with dilute sulphuric acid to give a carboxylic acid (B) and an alcohol (C). Oxidatin of (C) with chromic acid also produced (B). On dehydratin (C) gives but-1-ene. Write the equations for the reactions involved.
