how u can prep acetic acid by starting material ethyne nd methane...?
Answers
Explanation:
the question it is asked to prepare ethane and methane from ethanoic acid.
- The common step in the preparation of methane and ethane from ethanoic acid is as follows.
CH3COOH+NaOH→CH3COONa+H2O
- In the above reaction acetic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide and forms sodium acetate and water as the products.
(i) Preparation of methane:
- The formed sodium acetate reacts with sodium hydroxide on distillation and produces methane as the product and the chemical reaction is as follows.
CH3COONa+NaOH→CH4+Na2CO3
- In the above chemical reaction sodium acetate reacts with sodium hydroxide and forms methane and sodium carbonate as the products.
(ii) Preparation of ethane:
On electrolysis sodium acetate forms ethane as the product and the chemical reaction is as follows.
CH3COONa+2H2O→C2H6+NaOH+H2+CO2
- In the above chemical reaction with ethane, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide are going to form as the products.
