An organic compound (A) (molecular formula, C_(4)H_(8)O_(2)) was hydrolysed with dilute H_(2)SO_(4) to give a carboxylic acid (B) nd an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). Write possible structures of (A), (B) and (C) and give their IUPAC names. write chemical equations involved in the process.

1.	An organic compound (A) (molecular formula, C_(4)H_(8)O_(2)) was hydrolysed with dilute H_(2)SO_(4) to give a carboxylic acid (B) nd an alcohol (C). Oxidation of (C) with chromic acid produced (B). Write possible structures of (A), (B) and (C) and give their IUPAC names. write chemical equations involved in the process.
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) `underset("ETHYL acetate ")(A(C_(4)H_(8)O_(2)))(CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5))+H_(2)O overset(Dil.H_(2)SO_(4))to underset("Acetic ACID (B)")(CH_(3)COOH)+ underset("Ethyl alcohol (C)")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH)` (ii) `underset("Ethyl alcohol (C)")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH) underset(("Oxidation"))overset(CrO_(3)//H_(2)SO_(4))to underset("Acetic acid (B)")(CH_(3)COOH`
