(ii) Calcium acetate is subjected to dry distillation.
(iii) Sodium ethoxide is treated with ethyl bromide.
(iv) Benzaldehyde is treated with sodium bisulphite.

An organic compound A with molecular formula C7H8 on oxidation by chromylchloride in the presence of CCl4 gives a compound B which gives positive tollen’s test. The compound B on treatment with NaOH followed by acid hydrolysis gives two products C and D. C on oxidation gives B which on further oxidation gives D. The compound D on distillation with soda lime gives a hydrocarbon E. Below 60oC, concentrated nitric acid  reacts with E in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid forming a compound F. Identify the compounds A, B, C, D, E and F.
