Explain the given reaction with the example.

Hydrogenation reaction

Explain the given reaction with the example.

Oxidation reaction

Explain the given reaction with the example.

Substitution reaction

Explain the given reaction with the example.

Saponification reaction

Explain the given reaction with the example.

Combustion reaction

An organic compound $\mathrm{A}$ on heating with concentrated ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4$ forms a compound $\mathrm{B}$ which on addition of one mole of hydrogen in presence of $\mathrm{Ni}$ forms a compound $\mathrm{C}.$ One mole of compound $\mathrm{C}$ on combustion forms two moles of ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ and three moles of ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$. Identify the compounds $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ and write the chemical equation of the reactions involved.
