Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The product formed from hydrolysis of acetal in an acid solution has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Aldehydes and ketones react with alcohol to form hemiacetal as the product. This reacts with further molecule of aldehyde or ketone to form acetal.
Acetals are stable in basic solution. But in acidic solution, they undergo hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a
