Identify the product S in the following series of operations : C_(2)H

1.	Identify the product S in the following series of operations : C_(2)H_(2) underset(Hg^(2+))overset(dil. H_(2)SO_(4))rarr (P) overset(K_(2) Cr_(2) O_(7) // H^(+))rarr (Q) overset(CaCO_(3))rarr (R) overset(Delta) rarr (S)
Answer» Ethyl alcohol acetaldehyde acetone acetic acid Solution :`CH -= underset(Hg^(2+))overset(Dil. H_(2)SO_(4))rarr underset((P))(CH_(3)CHO) overset(K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7) //H^(+))rarr underset((Q))(CH_(3)COOH) overset(CaCO_(3))rarr underset((R))((CH_(3)COO)_(2)CA) overset(DELTA)rarr underset((S))(CH_(3)COCH_(3))`
