Question

An organic compound ‘X’ is a liquid at room temperature. It is also a very good solvent and has the molecular formula C2 H6 O. on oxidation ‘X’ gives ‘Y’ which give, break effervescence on reacting with NaHCO3. X reacts with Y in the presence of conc.H2SO4to give another compound ‘Z’ which has a pleasant smell. Identify X, Y ​
