Question

An organic compound A is liquid at room
temperature. It is also a good solvent and
has the molecular formula C,H,O. A on
oxidation gives compound B which gives
effervescence with sodium hydrogen
carbonate. A reacts with B in the presence
of conc. sulphuric acid to give another
compound C, which has a pleasant smell.
Identify A and C. Also write the chemical
equations for the reactions involved in the
formation of B and C.​

Answer 1

It's quite easy....

A is ethanol ( CH3CH2OH )

B is ethanoic acid (CH3COOH )

C is Ester ( CH3COOC2H5 )

Reactions...

Answer 2

Answer:

A is the ethanol C2H5OH

C is the CH3COOC2H5 ETHY ETHANOATE.

Explanation:

WHEN ETHANOL REACTS WITH HOT ALKALINE POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE THEN ETHANOIC ACID IS PRODUCED.

WHEN ETHANOL REACTS WITH ETHANOIC ACID AN ESTER ,ETHYL ETHANOATE IS PRODUCED ALONG WITH WATER.
