(II) $\ce{H-C-C=C-H \atop \\text{H}}$
(ii) Name the reaction which is commonly used in the conversion of vegetable oils to fats.
(iii) Why is the melting point of $\ce{C4H10}$ higher than $\ce{C3H8}$ ?
(iv) What happens when a piece of sodium is dropped into ethanol ?
(v) Write the products in the following reaction :
