A compound X has a molecular formula C3H8O and reacts with Na metal to produce H2 has . Identify the compound and functional group present in the compound .
1) Give chemical equation of its reaction with excess conc. H2SO4 at 443 K
2) Write the reaction of the compound with Na metal
Answers
Answer:
the compound x is propanol. C3H7OH
the functional group is alcohol.
Explanation:
refer to the above attachment for detailed answer
Given Molecular Formula: C₃H₈O
Structural Formula: C₃H₇OH
IUPAC Name: Propanol
Common Name: Propyl Alcohol
Functional Group Present in The compound: Alcohol (-OH)
Dehydration Reaction: When an alcohol is heated at 443 K with excess concentrated H₂SO₄, a single bond changes to double bond and H₂O is expelled out.
For the reaction, kindly refer to attachment.
Reaction with Na Metal: Alcohols react with metals to form a metal salt and release H₂ gas, by replacing one H from OH and placing the metal.
When Propanol reacts with sodium metal, sodium propoxide is formed and hydrogen gas is evolved.
For the reaction, kindly refer to the attachment.
