An aliphatic hydrocarbon Aon treatment with sulphuric acid in the presence of HgSO4 yields a liquid B with molecular formula C2H40. B on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate yields C which gives effervescence with sodium bicarbonate. C when treated with SOCl2gives D. When D reacts with ethanol it gives a sweet smelling liquid E. E is also formed when C reacts with ethanol in the presence of conc. H2S04. (i) Identify A, B, C, D and E. (ii) Draw the structure of the isomer of compound B. (iii) Write the balanced equation for the conversion of A to B. - Zigya
