Ethanol $(C_2H_5OH)$ and formic acid $(HCO_2H)$ cannot be distinguished by:

Hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylic acid,which upon Kolbe's electrolysis yields ethane. Identify the ester.

Compound $A$ was prepared by oxidation of compound $B$ with alkaline $KMnO_4$. Compound $A$ on reduction with lithium aluminium hydride $(LiAlH_4)$ gets converted back to compound $B$. When compound $A$ is heated with compound $B$ in the presence of $H_2SO_4$,it produces a fruity smell of compound $C$. To which family do the compounds $A$,$B$,and $C$ belong?

Which of the following compounds on hydrolysis gives reactant $(A)$?

Match the reactions given in Column-$I$ with the appropriate reagents in Column-$II$.
| Column-$I$ (Reaction) | Column-$II$ (Reagent) |
| :--- | :--- |
| $(A)$ $2CH_3COOH \rightarrow (CH_3CO)_2O$ | $(i)$ $(I) NH_3, (II) \Delta, -H_2O$ |
| $(B)$ Phthalic acid $\rightarrow$ Phthalamide | $(ii)$ $(I) Br_2 / \text{red phosphorous}, (II) H_2O$ |
| $(C)$ $CH_3CH_2COOH \rightarrow CH_3CHBrCOOH$ | $(iii)$ $Br_2 / FeBr_3$ |
| $(D)$ Benzoic acid $\rightarrow$ $m$-Bromobenzoic acid | $(iv)$ $H^+, \Delta \text{ OR } P_2O_5, \Delta$ |
