Complete the following reaction CH3CONH2 P2O5 heat gives what?

1. An organic compound (A) has molecular formula (C₅H₁₀O). It does not reduce Tollen's reagent but forms an orange precipitate with 2,4-DNP reagent. (A) does not give yellow prcipate on treatment with NaOH and I_2. Under vigorous conditions of oxidation (A) gives one molecule of a carboxylic acid (B) with molecular formula, C₂H₆O₂ and one molecule of another carboxylic acid (C) with molecular formula , C₂H₄O₂ . Sodium salt of (B) gave a hydrocarbon (D) in Kolbe's Electrolytic reaction. Identify (A), (B), (C) and (D) and write the reactions involved.
   
2. Predictthe products formed( with formation ) in the following cases
   

i) When (A) reacts with PhMgBr and is then hydrolysed

ii) When (A) reacts with hydrazine and is then heated with KOH and ethylene glycol.
