Answer:
Aldehyde and ketone both react with alcohols (2 equivalent) in the presence of acid catalyst to give acetals.
Explanation:
Alcohols are poor nucleophiles and so protonation of the carbonyl oxygen used to make the carbonyl carbon a stronger electrophile. Addition of the first equivalent of alcohols gives a hemiacetal,
Addition of the second equivalent of alcohol is accompanied by loss of one molecule water to yield the produce acetal.
