Good job Garfield ;)
Rightly said Requiem :)
Dania:
What happens when you add dilute sulfuric acid to a cyanohidrin?
E.g. OHCH(CN)CH(CN)OH + H2SO4 = ?
nid404:
dilute or conc?
Dania:
Oops. Forgot to mention it. The question says dilute. I know concenrated would dehydrate it.

Hmm.......the CN groups will get converted to CO2H
In other words the nitrile is oxidised to a carbolxylic group
Therefore resulting compound will be OHC(CO2H)HC(CO2H)HOH
Hope it helps :)
