What is the difference between two consecutive members in a homologous series of alkanes in terms of:
$(i)$ molecular mass.
$(ii)$ number of atoms of elements.

What is the boiling point of methanal (in $,K$)?

$A$ compound $X$ is formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid $C_{2}H_{4}O_{2}$ and an alcohol in the presence of a few drops of $H_{2}SO_{4}$. The alcohol,upon oxidation with alkaline $KMnO_{4}$ followed by acidification,gives the same carboxylic acid as used in this reaction. Give the names and structures of $(a)$ carboxylic acid,$(b)$ alcohol,and $(c)$ the compound $X$. Also,write the chemical reaction.

Which of the following represents a saponification reaction?

The name of the compound $CH_{3}-CH_{2}-CHO$ is

Identify the compounds $A$ to $E$ in the following reaction sequence:
$(i)$ $CH_3CH_2OH \xrightarrow[dil. HCl]{KMnO_4/KOH} (A) + H_2O$
$(ii)$ $CH_3CH_2OH + A \xrightarrow[\Delta]{Conc. H_2SO_4} B + H_2O$
$(iii)$ $B + NaOH \rightarrow C + CH_3CH_2OH$
$(iv)$ $A + NaHCO_3 \rightarrow C + D + H_2O$
$(v)$ $CH_3CH_2OH + E \rightarrow CH_3CH_2ONa + H_2$
