    Identify X and Y  in the following sequence of reactions: \[C{{H}_{3}}\underset{X}{\mathop{CHO}}\,\xrightarrow{HN{{O}_{3}}}\underset{Y}{\mathop{X\xrightarrow{{{P}_{4}}{{O}_{10}}}}}\,Y\]

    A)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH,\text{ }{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}H,{{(C{{H}_{3}}CO)}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}H,C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH,C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}}H\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[\text{HN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\] is an oxidising agent. It oxidises aldehyde into acid. \[{{P}_{4}}{{O}_{10}}\] (dehydratingagent) dehydrates the acid into anhydride. Hence, reaction is as follows : \[C{{H}_{3}}CHO\xrightarrow{HN{{O}_{3}}}\underset{(x)}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,\xrightarrow{P & 4{{O}_{10}}}\] \[\underset{(Y)}{\mathop{(C{{H}_{3}}C{{O}_{2}})}}\,O\]
