Question

A gas is evolved when ethenol reacts with sodium. Name the gas evolved and also write a balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved

Answer 1

The gas evolved here is Hydrogen:
The chemical equation for this reaction is ;
2C2H5OH +2Na >gives 2C2H5ONa + H2
The product formed here is sodium ethocside
hope it helps u mate

Answer 2

Hi,

When ethanol reacts with sodium, it leaves off hydrogen gas, and sodium ethoxide is formed in that process. Hence, hydrogen gas is evolved during this process. A balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved: 

2C2H5OH + 2Na --------› 2C2H5ONa + H2
