Concept introduction:
(b)
Interpretation: The reagent for the given conversion is to be interpreted as dilute sulfuric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid.
Concept introduction:
Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with at least one double bond between the carbon atoms. The presence of pi bonds in these molecules makes them more reactive compared to saturated hydrocarbons; alkanes. The stability of alkenes depends on the substituted groups.

- In an advanced synthetic chemistry experiment, a researcher prepares a compound, ZY-7, by reacting a ketone (C5H10O) with hydroxylamine (NH2OH), followed by heating in the presence of an acid catalyst. The resulting compound, ZY-7, is then treated with a solution of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) at low temperature. Identify the class of compound that ZY-7 most likely belongs to after this series of reactions."
