Question

An organic compound 'A' with molecular formula C2H6O is used as an antifreeze in cold countries. When this compound is heated with potassium permanganate, gives a compound 'B' which is a constituent of vinegar. When 'A' and 'B' are heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, a sweet smelling compound 'C' is formed .On adding NaOH to 'C' , it gives back the compound 'A' and another compound 'D' which is a sodium salt of compound 'B' .ldentify A,B,C & D. Write the equation involved in the above processes .

Answer 1

Wow! My favourite question
Here is the answer
C2H6O is ethanol
Equation is. C2H5OH + (O) ----(heated with alkaline potassium permanganate) CH3COOH + H2O
B is the ethanoic acid CH3COOH
CH2H5OH. +. CH3COOH ----- CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
CH3COOC2H5 +. NaOH ----- CH3COONa + C2H5OH
Hence C is CH3COOC2H5 and D is CH3COONa
Plz marked mine as brianliest

Answer 2

when C2H5OH is heated pottasium permaganate it will liberateor give CH3COOH.When this both are heated we will get sweet smelling compound called ester(CH3COOOC2H5).On adding Naoh to it it will CH3COONa+C2H5OH.
