(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The alkyl halide that is used to form the given carboxylic acid has to be identified.

Concept introduction: The reaction of alkyl halides with sodium cyanide gives alkyl cyanides or nitriles. After the reaction there is increase incarbon atoms of the alkyl chain of alkyl halide. The nitriles obtained undergo hydrolysis reaction in presence of acid and gives carboxylic acid. The general reaction of alkyl halides and sodum cyanide is written as:
