    Which one of the following reagents will reduce diethyl ether to ethane and ethanol?

    A)  Na/liquid \[\text{N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    B)  Cold HI

    C)   \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}/\]high pressure

    D)  \[A{{l}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]heat

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     When diethyl ether is reduced with reducing agent like \[\text{Na/liq}\text{.N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{,}\]the products obtained are ethane and ethanol. \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}-H\xrightarrow{Na.liq.N{{H}_{3}}}\]               \[\underset{Ethane}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}}}\,+\underset{Ethanol}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH}}\,\]
