A saturated organic compound 'A' belongs to the homologous series of alcohols. On heating 'A' with concentrated sulphuric acid at $\displaystyle 443$ K, it forms an unsaturated compound 'B' with molecular mass $\displaystyle 28$ u. The compound 'B' on addition of one mole of hydrogen in the presence of Nickel, changes to a saturated hydrocarbon 'C'.(i)Identify A, B and C.(ii)Write the chemical equations showing the conversion of A into B.(iii)What happens when compound C undergoes combustion ?(iv)State one industrial application of hydrogenation reaction.(v)Name the products formed when compound A reacts with sodium.(b)With the help of diagram, show the formation of micelles, when soap is applied on oily dirt.(ii)Take two test tubes X and Y with $\displaystyle 10$ mL of hard water in each. In test tube 'X', add few drops of soap solution and in test tube 'Y' add a few drops of detergent solution. Shake both the test tubes for the same period.(1)In which test tube the formation of foam will be more ? Why ?(2)In which test tube is a curdy solid formed ? Why ?
