The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let's analyze the reactions step by step:

  1. A to B: The compound A undergoes acidic hydration (HgSO4/H2SO4) which leads to the formation of ethanol (CH3CH2OH), as it is a common reaction to convert alkenes (ethyne, in this case) to alcohols.
  2. B to C: The reaction of ethanol with PCC (Pyridinium chlorochromate) is an oxidation reaction, converting ethanol (CH3CH2OH) into ethane nitrile (CH3CN).
  3. C to Acetaldehyde: Ethyne (C2H2) undergoes hydrolysis under SnCl2/HCl followed by acid treatment to produce acetaldehyde (CH3CHO).

The correct answer is (C) : ethyne, ethanol and ethane nitrile.
