Question

Identify Z in the following series
`C_(2)H_(5)OH overset(PBr)rarrX overset(atc.KOH)rarrY underset((ii) H_(2)O+"heat")overset((i) H_(2)SO_(4))rarrZ`
A. `CH_(2)=CH_(2)`
B. `CH_(3)-CH_(2)OH`
C. `CH_(3)CH_(2)-O-CH_(2)-CH_(3)`
D. None

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
`C_(2)H_(5)OH overset(PBr_(3))rarrunderset((X))(CH_(3)-CH_(2)-Br) overset(alc.KOH)rarr underset((Y))(H_(2)C=CH_(2))underset((ii) H_(2)O+"Heat")overset((i) H_(2)SO_(4))rarr underset((Z))(H_(3)C-CH_(2)-OH)`
