The skeletal formula of $$\(\mathbf{E}\)$$ is shown in Fig.4.1. $$\(F\)$$ is an isomer of $$\(E\)$$. F reacts with $$\(\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})\)$$ to produce $$\(\mathbf{G}\)$$ and $$\(\mathbf{H}\)$$. $$\(\mathbf{G}\)$$ is a secondary alcohol. $$\(\mathbf{H}\)$$ is also produced when $$\(\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})\)$$ is added to $$\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CN}\)$$. (i) Construct an equation for the acid hydrolysis of $$\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CN}\)$$ with $$\(\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq})\)$$. ................................................................................................................................. (ii) Draw the displayed formula of $$\(\mathbf{G}\)$$. (iii) $$\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\)$$ is used to make $$\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CN}\)$$ in a two-step process, as shown in Fig. 4.2. State the reagents and conditions required for steps 1 and 2. step 1 step 2
