Explanation:
this needs to be done in two steps :
- Hydrolysis of acetylene in presence of HgSO4 and H2SO4. This reaction will give acetaldehyde.
- Carry out the oxidation of acetaldehyde formed with acidified potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate or CrO3. This will give acetic acid as final product.
