Draw the structure for A.
Name the reaction type for heating A with aqueous $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$.
Complete the equation that represents the reaction of B with excess aqueous sodium carbonate. $\ldots\text{HOOCCH}_2\text{COOH} + \ldots\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \rightarrow \ldots$
Suggest why C does not react with aqueous sodium carbonate in a reaction similar to B.
Identify the reagents and conditions needed in steps 1 and 2 to make B, as shown in Fig. 5.2. Step 1: $\text{ClCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Cl} \rightarrow \text{HOCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}$ Step 2: $\text{HOCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \rightarrow \text{HOOCCH}_2\text{COOH}$
Identify the type of reaction that $\text{HOCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{OH}$ undergoes in step 2.
Identify the formula of the reducing agent R.
Complete the equation to show how B reacts with an excess of R. Use $[\text{H}]$ to represent one hydrogen atom from R. $\ldots\text{HOOCCH}_2\text{COOH} + \ldots[\text{H}] \rightarrow \ldots$
