An organic compound A (C(2)H(6)O) reacts...

An organic compound A `(C_(2)H_(6)O)` reacts with sodium to form a compound B with the evolution of `H_(2)` and gives a yellow compound C on reacting with iodine and NaOH. When heated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` at 413 K, it gives a compound D `(C_(4)H_(10)O)` which on reaction wiht conc. HI at 373 K gives compound E. The compound D is also obtained when B is heated with E. Idntify the compounds A,B,C,D and E write the equations for the reaction involved.

To solve the problem step by step, we need to identify the compounds A, B, C, D, and E based on the given information and reactions. ### Step 1: Identify Compound A The molecular formula of compound A is \( C_2H_6O \). This formula corresponds to either an alcohol or an ether. Given that it reacts with sodium, we can conclude that compound A is an alcohol. **Structure of A:** - The simplest alcohol with the formula \( C_2H_6O \) is ethanol. - Therefore, \( A = CH_3CH_2OH \) (Ethanol). ...
