1.	A reaction scheme is shown below:Ethene + Steam \(\overset{Catalyst}\longrightarrow\) \(X \underset{Potassium\,dichromate (VI)}{\stackrel{Acidified}{\longrightarrow}}\) Y \(\overset{x}\longrightarrow\) ZWhat is the final product Z? A. A carboxylic acid B. An alcohol C. An alkene D. An ester
Answer» Ethene + Steam \(\overset{Catalyst}\longrightarrow\) Ethanol \(\overset{Acidified\,K_2Cr_2O_2}\longrightarrow\) Ethanoic acid \(\overset{Ethanol}\longrightarrow\) Ethyl ethanoate (ester)
