An organic compound A has the molecular formula C3H8O 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 is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170 °C, it forms compound B which decolourises bromine water. The compound B adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the presence of Ni as a catalyst to form a compound C which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.

What is compound A?
