A compound $A$ $(C_{2} H_{4} O_{2})$ reacts with $N a$ metal to form a compound $B$ and evolves a gas which burns with a pop sound. Compound $A$ on treatment with an alcohol $C$ in presence of an acid forms a sweet smelling compound $D$ $(C_{2} H_{4} O_{2})$ . On addition of $N a O H$ to $D$ gives back $B$ and $C$ . Identify $A, B, C$ and $D$ write the reactions involved.
