An organic compound $A$ having the molecular formula $C _3 H _8 O$ is a liquid at room temperature. The organic liquid $A$ reacts with sodium metal to evolve a gas which burns causing a little explosion. When the organic liquid A heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at $170^{\circ} C$, it forms a compound B which decolourizes bromine water. The compound B adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the presence of Ni as catalyst to forms compound C which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.
