(a) (i)Write the reaction involved in Cannizaro’s reaction.
(ii) Why are the boiling point of aldehydes and ketones lower than that of corresponding carboxylic acids ?
(iii) An organic compound 'A' with molecular formula C₅H₈O₂ is reduced to n-pentane with hydrazine followed by heating with NaOH and Glycol. ‘a’ forms a dioxime with hydroxylamine and gives a positive Iodoform and Tollen’s test. Identify ‘A’ and give its reaction for Iodoform and Tollen’s test.
