Question

A compound 'X' on heating with excess concentration, sulphuric acid at 445 K gives an unsaturated compound 'Y'. 'X' also reacts with sodium metal to evolve a colourless gas 'Z'. Write the equation of the chemical reaction of the formation of 'Y'and also write the role of sulphuric acid in the reaction.

(PLEASE GIVE A CORRECT ANSWER WITH DETAILED EXPLAINATION)

Answer 1

Answer:

the role of sulpharic acid is it's act like an agent

Answer 2

$\huge{ \underbrace\red{ \textsf{ \textbf{Answer : }}}}$

Compound X is ethanol

Compound Y is ethene

Compound Z is hydrogen gas.

C2H5OH =>{sulphuric acid} CC2H+H 2 O

Hot concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent. It reacts with ethanol to give ethene by removing water.

C2H 5 OH+Na→C2H 5 ONa+H 2
