grignard reagents

a. It is likely that the amount of Grignard reagent in analysis is greater than the amount of Grignard reagent actually present just before adding water.  Explain.
b.  What hydrocarbon would you expect to obtain by the action of water on each of the Grignard reagents listed below?
    1.  Butylmagnesium bromide
    2.  sec-Butylmagnesium bromide
    3.  iso-Butylmagnesium bromide
    4.  tert-Butylmagnesium bromide
c.  What product would each of the Grignard reagents in the previous question (b.) yield when treated with D2O?
