(a) (i) The two isomeric structures of Butene (C4H8)(C_4H_8) are: egin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc (ii) The names of the given compounds are: egin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc (iii) The chemical equations for the given reactions are: (I) C2H5OH+3O2ightarrow2CO2+3H2OC_2H_5OH + 3O_2 ightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O Essential condition: Complete oxidation takes place in the presence of a catalyst. (II) CH3CH=CH2+H2ightarrowCH3CH2CH3CH_3CH = CH_2 + H_2 ightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_3 Essential condition: Hydrogenation takes place in the presence of a catalyst. (III) CH3COOH+C2H5OHightarrowCH3COOC2H5+H2OCH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH ightarrow CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O Essential condition: The reaction takes place in the presence of a catalyst. OR (b) (i) The carbon compound X is ethanol (C2H5OH)(C_2H_5OH). The reaction of ethanol with sodium produces two products Y and Z, which are sodium ethoxide (C2H5ONa)(C_2H_5ONa) and hydrogen gas (H2)(H_2). The equation of reaction is: 2C2H5OH+2Naightarrow2C2H5ONa+H22C_2H_5OH + 2Na ightarrow 2C_2H_5ONa + H_2 (ii) The chemical equations for the given reactions are: (I) C2H5OH+3O2ightarrow2CO2+3H2OC_2H_5OH + 3O_2 ightarrow 2CO_2 + 3H_2O (II) C2H5OHightarrowC2H4+H2OC_2H_5OH ightarrow C_2H_4 + H_2O (III) 3C2H5OH+2Cr2O72+16H+ightarrow3C2H4O+4Cr3++11H2O3C_2H_5OH + 2Cr_2O_7^{2-} + 16H^+ ightarrow 3C_2H_4O + 4Cr^{3+} + 11H_2O
