A hydrocarbon (A) reacts with sodium amide and then with ethylbromide to produce another hydrocarbon (B) which on ozonolysis by oxidative method yields propanoic acid only. The hydrocarbons (A) and (B) are, respectively.

Which hydrocarbon reacts with sodium and liquid NH_3 ?

The hydrocarbon which can react with sodium in liquid ammonia is

The hydrocarbon, which can react with sodium in liquid ammonia is

A hydrocarbon (A) of molecular weight 54 reacts with an excess of Br_2 in CCl_4 to give a compound (B) whose molecular weight is 593% more than that of (A). However, on catalytic hydrogenation with excess of hydrogen (A) forms (C) whose molecular weight is only 7.4% more that that of (A). (A) reacts with CH_3CH_2Br in the presence of NaNH_2 to give another hydrocarbon (D) which on ozonolyisis yields diketone (E). (E) on oxidation gives propionic acid. Give the structure of (A) to (E) with reason.
