The easiest way to prepare ethanol is from ethyl bromide.
Option (1) is correct.
Explanation:
- Ethanol can be prepared easily from Ethyl bromide.
- As ethyl bromide can be prepared from ethanol and bromine.
- Then ethyl bromide is distilled over and washed.
- First with dilute sodium carbonate solution and then several times with distilled water.
The reaction is given below.
CH₃CH₂Br + H₂O → CH₃CH₂OH
Finally, ethyl bromide is dried with calcium chloride and re-distilled yielding colorless heavy liquid boiling at 38° C.
