a.

b.

c.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(a) The condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce is

(b) The condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce is

(c) The condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce is 

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce a given compound i.e. 

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

Hydrogen and nickel catalyst reduce aldehydes and ketone into $1°$ and $2°$ alcohol respectively.

Therefore, the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced is, 

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce a given compound i.e.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

Hydrogen and nickel catalyst reduce aldehydes and ketone into $1°$ and $2°$ alcohol respectively.

Therefore, the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced is, 

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced when hydrogen and a nickel catalyst reduce a given compound i.e. 

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

We know that

Hydrogen and nickel catalyst reduce aldehydes and ketone into $1°$ and $2°$ alcohols respectively.

Therefore, the condensed structural or line-angle formula for the alcohol produced is,
