3.
(i) Add I2 and NaOH. P-2- one will give yellow ppt of iodoform, whereas pentan-3- one will not react.
(ii) Add I2 and NaOH. Ethanal will yellow precicipate of iodoform, whereas proponal does not react.
4.

5.

6.
(a) It is due to resonance.
(b) It is because we get two optical isomers which have same physical properties but differ in sign of optical rotation therefore, cannot be separated by fractional distillation.
(c) Aldehydes and ketones from addition compounds with NaHSO3 whereas impurities do not.
On hydrolysis, we get pure aldehydes and ketone back.
7.

8.
(i) Since compound A on oxidation gives compound 8 with M.F. C2H4O2, therefore, compound 8 may be acetic acid, CH3COOH and A may be acetaldehyde, CH3CHO.
(ii) Since compound A, i.e., acetaldehyde reacts with dil. NaOH, therefore, it undergoes aldol condensation to afford an aldol.Further since this aldol on heating gives compound (C), therefore, (C) must be an α, β- unsaturated aldehyde, i.e., but-2-en-I-al (crotonaldehyde).
(iii) Since compound (C) on catalytic hydrogenation gives compound D, therefore, D may be either I-butanal or I-butanol depending upon the extent of hydrogenation.
AIl the reactions involved in this question are explained below:
9.
During acetylation, one H-atom (at. mass = Iamu) of the OH group is replaced by an acetyl group, i.e., CH3CO (mol. mass = 43 amu). .
-OH + (CH3CO)2O ⇾ -O-COCH3 + CH3COOH
In other words, acetylation of each OH group increases the mass by 43 - I = 42 amu. Now the mol. mass of C4H10O = 106 amu while that of the acetylated product is 190 amu, therefore, the number of OH groups III the compound\(={190-106\over 42}=2\)
10.

Compound I will react faster with HCN because it is less stearically hindered and has more positive charge on carbonyl compounds.
Mechanism of the reaction:

The reaction will not lead to completion.It is reversible reaction, hence equilibrium established.
Addition of strong acid will will inhibit the reaction because dissociation of HCN will be reduced due to common ion effect and formation of CN- is prevented.
