Question

An organic compound X with a molecular formula C2H6O undergoes oxidation with in presence of alkaline KMnO4 to form a compound Y. X on heating in presence of Conc. H2SO4 at 443K gives Z. Which on reaction with H2O in the presence H2SO4 gives back `X` `Z` reacts with Br2 (aq) and decolorizes it. Identify X, Y, & Z and write the reactions involved.

Answer 1

X= Ethanol 
Y= Ethanoic acid 
Z= Ethene

Answer 2

Answer:

C2 H5 OH K2 Cr2 O7 /H2SO4  CH3 COOH  

%C= 60 24 ×100=40.00  

%H=60 4×100=6.66

%O=  6032 ×100=53.33
