Consider the reactions,
Identify A, X, Y and Z.
Identify A, X, Y and Z.
- AA-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanol,
Y-Ethanoic acid, Z-Semicarbazide. - BA-Ethanal, X-Ethanol,
Y-But-2-enal, Z-Semicarbazone. - CA-Ethanol, X-Acetalfehyde,
Y-Butanone, Z-Hydrazone. - DA-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanoic acid,
Y-Acetate ion, Z-Hydrazine.

Correct answer: B
Since, A gives silver mirror test, it must be
an aldehyde and aldehydes are formed by oxidation
of 1o alcohols. Thus, ‘X’ is a 1o alcohol, i.e.,
CH3CH2OH.
