A compound (A) with molecular formula C(...

A compound (A) with molecular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O` reacts rapidly with metallic sodium but reacts very slowly with Lucas reagent. (A) when treated with hot concentrated `H(2)SO_(4)`gives a compound (B) ,` C_(4)H_(8)` on hydration with aqueous `H_(2)SO_(4)` forms a compound (C ) with moolcular formula `C_(4)H_(10)O`. (C ) is almost inert to metallic sodium but reacts readily with Lucas reagent. What are (A),(B) and (C ) ? Explain the reactions involved.
