Question

an organic compound A with molecular formula c2h6o gives compound B on oxidation with alkaline kmnon. A on heating with conc h2so4 gives C which on reaction with phosphoric acid and water gives back A . compound C gives addition products with br2 and h2 . identify A,B,C and write chemical equations

Answer 1

a-ethanol

b-acetic acid

c-ethene

c2h5oh-----(oxid. with kmno4)---->ch3cooh

c2h5oh-----(dehyd. with conc.h2so4)---->c2h4
