Answer:
(i) Tertiary butyl benzene \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}C{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}\] does not give benzoic acid on reacting with acidified \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\] because it does not contain a hydrogen atom attached directly to the carbon atom.
(ii) We know that \[HC\equiv CH\] is a stronger acid (\[sp\]-hybridised carbon atoms) than\[{{H}_{2}}C=C{{H}_{2}}\] (\[s{{p}^{2}}\]-hybridised carbon atoms). The conjugate base \[(HC\equiv \overset{\_}{\mathop{C}}\,)\] is, therefore, weaker than the conjugate base\[({{H}_{2}}C=\overset{\_}{\mathop{C}}\,H).\]
