Question

how will you convert ethanol to ethane. give reaction .and it's type.​

Answer 1

Conversion of ethanol into ethane involves following steps.

Step-1:-Dehydration of ethanol.

When ethanol is heated in presence of concentrated H₂SO₄,dehydration takes place to give ethylene.

Step-2:—Hydrogenation of ethylene.

when ethylene is reacted with hydrogen in presence of nickel,ethane is obtained.

Answer 2

The formation of ethene from ethanol is done by two reactions.

First one is dehydration reaction and second one is hydrogenation reaction.
_______________

Conversion of $\bold{Ethanol\:to\:ethane:-}$
_______________

1) The reaction is $\bold{dehydration}$ reaction:-

$C_{2}H_{5}OH$ → $C_{2}H_{4}$ + $H_{2}O$

_______________

2) The reaction is $\bold{hydrogenation}$ reaction.

$C_{2}H_{4}$ + $H_{2}$ → $C_{2}H_{6}$
