Organic Chemistry Reaction Tree and Nomenclature

(c) Use the flow chart to answer the questions that follow.

[Flow Chart Description:

- Center: $CH_3CH_2OH_{(l)}$

- Step I: reacts with $Na_{(s)}$ to produced $H_2$ and $C$.

- Step II: produces $H_2O_{(l)}$ and $CH_3COOCH_2CH_{3(aq)}$.

- Step III: produces $C_2H_{4(g)}$.

- Step IV: $C_2H_{4(g)}$ converted to $C_2H_{6(g)}$.

- Step V: $C_2H_{4(g)}$ reacts with $HCl_{(g)}$ to form B.

- Step VI: $CH_3CH_2OH_{(l)}$ reacts with Air to form Products.]

This question includes visual content: The image contains two main sections. Section 1 is a reaction flow chart centered on ethanol ($CH_3CH_2OH_{(l)}$). Step I adds $Na_{(s)}$ to produce $H_2$ and $C$. Step II produces $H_2O$ and $CH_3COOCH_2CH_{3(aq)}$. Step III leads to $C_2H_{4(g)}$, which in Step V reacts with $HCl_{(g)}$ to form B, and in Step IV reacts to form $C_2H_{6(g)}$. Step VI involves reaction with Air to form 'Products'. Section 2 contains: (a)(i) a structural formula of neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane) with a central Carbon bonded to four Methyl groups; (a)(ii) a linear formula $CH_3C \equiv CCH_2CH_3$; (b) asks for a test to distinguish the compounds in (a).
