Question

How can we get vinyl acetate from ethyl alcohol

Answer 1

Ethanol convert into ehtyl alcohol in two steps.

1,Firstly Dehydration of Ethanol occur in the present of dehydrating agent which is conc H2SO4 , it removes the water molecule from ethanol and convert it into Ethene.

2, Now Ethene react with HCl , ethene have a pie bond which will break and both carbons gain their shared electrons, by which pie bond was made. Then Hydrogen attach with one carbon and Cl will attach with another and the product is Ehtyl Chloride.
