What happens when |
(write chemical equation in each case) |
(a) ethanol is burnt in air? |
(b) ethanol is heated with excess conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] at 443 K? |
(c) a piece of sodium is dropped into ethanol? |
Answer:
(a) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH+3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Air}2C{{O}_{2}}+3{{H}_{2}}O+Heat+light\]
(b) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\xrightarrow{Conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\]
(c) \[2C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH+2Na\to 2\,C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}ONa+{{H}_{2}}\]
