A teacher ordered ethanol for laboratory. She preferred denatured alcohol over absolute alcohol.
(i) Give reason for the decision taken by the teacher.
(ii) What value was kept in mind while taking the decision?

A compound A (C₄H₁₀O) is found to be soluble in concentrated sulphuric acid. (A) does not react with sodium metal or potassium permanganate. When (A) is heated with excess of HI, it gives a single alkyl halide. Deduce the structure of compound (A) and explain all the reactions involved.
