Ethyl acetate reacts with $NH_2NHCONH_2$ to form

The yield of alkyl bromide obtained as a result of heating the dry silver salt of carboxylic acid with bromine in $CCl_4$ is:

Identify the reaction which will $NOT$ produce an alcohol as a major product.

Arrange the products $I$,$II$,$III$ from the following reactions in decreasing order of their acid strength.
$A) \text{Propylbenzene} \xrightarrow[\text{ (ii) } H_3O^{+}]{\text{ (i) } KMnO_4 / OH^{-}} I$
$B) CH_3COOH \xrightarrow[\text{ (ii) } H_2O]{\text{ (i) } Br_2 / \text{red } P} II$
$C) \text{Bromobenzene}$ $\xrightarrow[\substack{\text{ (ii) } CO_2 / \text{dry ether} \\ \text{ (iii) } H_3O^{+}}]{\text{ (i) } Mg / \text{dry ether}} III$

$A$ colourless water-soluble organic liquid decomposes sodium carbonate and liberates carbon dioxide. It produces a black precipitate with Tollen's reagent. The liquid is

Arrange these carboxylic acids in decreasing order of ease of esterification with $CH_3OH/H^{+}$:
$(I)$ $CH_3-CH(CH_3)-COOH$
$(II)$ $CH_3-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-COOH$
$(III)$ $CH_3-C(CH_3)_2-COOH$
$(IV)$ $(CH_3-CH_2)_3C-COOH$
