Question

How is ethanoic acid prepared from dry ice?

Answer 1

Production of ethanoic acid from dry ice

Explanation:

• Dry ice refers to the solid form of carbon dioxide and its chemical formula is $CO_2$.
• When dry ice is treated with a Grignard reagent which is chemically called methyl magnesium iodide with formula $CH_3IMg$, in the presence of dry ether it leads to the formation of acetic acid or ethanoic acid.
• In this process, before formation of the final product, a compound called adduct is formed.
• The chemical reaction involved in the preparation of ethanoic acid from dry ice is as follows

$CO_2+CH_3IMg\rightarrow Adduct \rightarrow Ethanoic acid/Acetic acid +$ $Mg(OH)I$
