Identify product X in the following organic sequence:
Calcium carbide + H₂O → A
A + H₂O (Hg²⁺, H⁺) → B
B + [O] → X
- Acetic acid
- Ethanol
- Acetone
- Ethane

CaC₂ + H₂O → C₂H₂ (Acetylene, A).C₂H₂ + H₂O → CH₃CHO (Acetaldehyde, B) via Kucherov reaction.
Oxidation of acetaldehyde gives CH₃COOH (Acetic acid, X).
