Question

CH3-CH2 OH +Na =
Complete the equation

Answer 1

Completed reaction is $CH_3-CH_2-OH+Na\rightarrow C_2H_5ONa+H_2$

• The reactants involved in the given reaction are ethanol (alcohol) and sodium (Metal).
• The chemical formula of the reactants involved in the reaction are as follows:

1. Ethanol - $CH_3CH_2OH$
2. Sodium - Na

• When sodium reacts with alcohol, it leads to the formation of respective sodium alkoxide which is a salt and leads to the evolution of hydrogen gas.
• Accordingly, when ethanol reacts with sodium it leads to the formation of sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas.
• The complete chemical equation involved in the reaction is as follows:

$2CH_3-CH_2-OH+2Na \rightarrow 2C_2H_5ONa+H_2$
