25. In order to determine the identity of an alkene, a chemist reacts it with water(dil.H, SO4, A). She then separates the product of this reaction into two equal amounts in container X and container Y. To container X, a strong oxidizing agent is added. The resulting product will react with a base to form a salt and water. When the new product in container X is mixed with container Y and H, SO̟ is added, the chemist is able to confirm that, ethyl ethanoate has been formed. The identity of the alkene is which of the following? А. D. H3C-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-CH3 В. Е. none of the above H3C-CH=CH, С. H2C=CH2
