1) Ketones and alcohols...so acetone and ethyl alcohol.

3) Intramolecular Claisen or Dieckmann condensation is favoured when 5 or 6 membered rings can be formed...problem is none of your substrates are diesters. So none of them react this way.

4) Tollens and Fehling's reagents. Formic acid gives those tests as an exception.
Edit : HCOOH also reacts with sulfuric acid to give carbon dioxide.

Ans 4..
Tollen's ..fehling and H2SO4
Formic acid gives tollen's and fehling's test..that's an exception
and with H2SO4 it forms CO2

Strangely acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde react with PCl5 to give ethylidene and benzylidene chloride. Ethylidene chloride you will be familiar with...its other name is CHLORAL.
But self claisen can only be done by DIESTERS...your substrates are MONOESTERS!
