(i) Cyclohexanones form cyanohydrins according to the following equation. 

In this case, the nucleophile CN⁻ can easily attack without any steric hindrance. However, in the case of
2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, methyl groups at α-positions offer steric hindrances and as a result, CN⁻ cannot attack effectively.

For this reason, it does not form a cyanohydrin.

(ii)
Semicarbazide undergoes resonance involving only one of the two −NH₂ groups, which is attached directly to the
carbonyl-carbon atom.

Therefore, the electron density of −NH₂ group involved in the resonance also decreases. As a result, it cannot act as a nucleophile. Since the other −NH₂ group is not involved in resonance; it can act as a nucleophile and can attack carbonyl-carbon atoms of aldehydes and ketones to produce semicarbazones.

(iii)
Ester along with water is formed reversibly from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in presence of an acid.

If either water or ester is not removed as soon as it is formed, then it reacts to give back the reactants as the reaction is reversible. Therefore, to shift the equilibrium in the forward direction i.e., to produce more ester, either of the two should be removed.
