Formic acid reduces Tollen's reagent, but acetic acid does not-Give reasons.

The acid which reduces Tollen's reagent is

Nucleic acid does not occur in

Anorganic compound with molecular formula C_9H_10O , forms 2,4-DNP darivative, reduces Tollen's reagent and undergoes Cannizzaro reaction. On vigorous oxidation it gives a dicarboxylic acid which is used in the preparation of terylene. Identify the organic compound

Glycine exists as a zwitterion but o-and p-aminobenzoic acids do not-Give reason

What is glacial acetic acid

Hypophorus acid has reducing property but phosphoric acid does not - why ?

An organic compound (A) with molecular formula C_(8)H_(8)O forms an orange-red precipitate with 2,4-DNP reagent and gives yellow precipitate on heating with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide. It neither reduces Tollens or Fehlings reagent, nor does it decolourise bromine water or Baeyerâs reagent. On drastic oxidation with chromic acid, it gives a carboxylic acid (B) having molecular formula C_(7)H_(6)O_(2) . Identify the compounds (A) and (B) and explain the reactions involved.

MnO_(4)^(2-) undergoes disproportionation reaction in acidic medium but MnO_(4)^(-) does not .Give reason.
