A dihaloalkane ' X , having formula C ₃ H ₆ Cl ₂ , on hydrolysis gives a compound, that can reduce Tollen's reagent. The compound X^ is

Step-by-step solution

Since, the obtained compound reduces Tollen's reagent, it must be an aldehyde. Thus, it is obvious that both the - Cl atoms are present at C ₁ . Hence, the compound X ^ is 1, 1-dichloropropane and the reactions are as follows
