Explanation:

answer 1)X is ethanal Y is ethanoic acid                                                                        

                       O                                       O                                                                                                  

                       ║         Cl2,NaOH             ║                                                                                                                     answer2)CH3-C-HCH3-C-OH+CHCl3

                                   HCl

   C2H4O+HCNCH3-C-H(CN)(OH)CH3-CH(OH)COOH

answer3)ethanoic acid
