Chemistry, asked by shrinidhialur21, 1 year ago

A compound 'X' on heating with excess concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K gives an unsaturated compound 'Y' ,'X' also reacts with sodium metal to evolve a colourless gas 'Z'. Identify 'X','Y' and 'Z'.Write the equation of the chemical reaction of formation of 'Y' and also write the role of sulphuric acid in the reaction


BadaSaGadha: it was such a hard question today :(
BadaSaGadha: I lost 2 marks
anuritha: Don't worry friend ,if all student feel it difficult ,that would give grace marks and each sub questions marks only 1/2 ...so don't worry
shrinidhialur21: okkkk but some intligent people write it ......

According to the question,
X - ethanol
Y-Ethene
Z-hydrogen gas

The equations are :
1) C2H5OH - - - - - >C2H4 + H2O
2) C2H5OH +Na - - - - - >C2H5ONa +H2

Sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent in the reaction.....

BadaSaGadha: role of sulphuric acid ?
Hasti152002: thx for correction
BadaSaGadha: alright

When alcohol (X), is catalysed by hot concentrated sulfuric acid, it produces ethene(Y)... This process is used for denaturing alcohol for unfit for drinking


When ethene is reacted with sodium produces colourless hydrogen gas (Z)

The use of sulphuric acid is to speed up the reaction or dehydrating agent a and make alcohol from unfit of drinking
