1.	In the following reaction : C_2H_2 underset(HgSO_4//H_2SO_4)overset(H_2O)to X hArr CH_3CHO What is X ?
Answer» `CH_3CH_2OH` `CH_3-O-CH_3` `CH_3CH_2CHO` `CH_2=CHOH` Solution :`underset"ACETYLENE"(HC-=CH)underset(HgSO_4 // H_2SO_4)overset(H_2O)to underset"VINYL ALCOHOL (X)"(CH_2=CHOH) hArr underset"Acetaldehyde"(CH_3CHO)`
