SodiumAn organic compound A having the molecular formula C3H8O is a liquid at room temperature. The organic liquid A reacts with sodium metal to evolve a gas which burns causing a little explosion. When the organic liquid A is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170oC, it forms a compound B which decolourises bromine water. The compound B adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the present of Ni as catalyst to form compound C which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.
