A compound C (molecular formula, `C_(2)H_(4)O_(2)`) reacts with Na metal to form a compounds R and evolves a gas which burns with a pop sound. Compound C on treatment with an alcohol A in the presence of an acid form a sweet smelling compound S (molecular formula, `C_(3)H_(6)O_(2))`. On addition of NaOH to C, it also gives R and water.S on treatment with NaOH solution gives back R and A.
Identify C,R,A,S and write down the reactions involved.
