Steam is added to ethene in the presence of concentrated $\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4$. The product from this reaction is then mixed with acidified potassium dichromate(VI) and heated under reflux for one hour. The final organic product is isolated and given the label X. But-2-ene is then treated with hot, concentrated, acidified potassium manganate(VII). The final organic product is isolated and given the label Y. Which statement is correct?
- AOne molecule of X has more carbon atoms than one molecule of Y.
- BOne molecule of Y has more carbon atoms than one molecule of X.
- CX and Y have different functional groups.
- DX is the same compound as Y.
