Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Write the names of the functional groups in:

= above images

(b) Describe a chemical test to distinguish between ethanol and ethanoic acid

= Add sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in both the test tubes, the test tube which will produce brisk effervescence of CO2 gas will contain ethanoic acid.

Add sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in both the test tubes, the test tube which will produce brisk effervescence of CO2 gas will contain ethanoic acid.Ethanol do not evolve CO2 gas when reacted with Na2CO3/ NaHCO3.

c) Write a chemical equation to represent what happens when hydrogen gas is passed

through an unsaturated hydrocarbons in the presence of nickel as a catalyst.
