When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels, at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.

7. For compound A in acid, it is the hydroxyl that is protonated
to a greater extent than the carbonyl oxygen. However, for
compound B in acid, it is the carbonyl oxygen that is
protonated to a greater extent than the hydroxyl oxygen.
Explain this difference.
