Question

HW CAN ETHANOL AND ETHANOIC ACID BE DIFFERENTIATE ON THE BASIS OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ?????

Answer 1

this is the answer of the question

Answer 2

Physical properties

Ethanol:- 1. Ethanol is a colorless liquids having pleasant smell.

2.Boiling point of ethanol is 78℃ (351 K).

3.Melting point of ethanol is 156 K.

4.It is non conductor of electricity because it does not contain ions.

5.It is neutral to litmus.

Ethanol acid:-

1.Ethanoic acid is a colorless vicious liquids but has a pungent and irritating smell of vinegar.

2.Boiling point of ethanol acid is 118℃(391 K).

3.Melting point of ethanol acid is 290K.

4.It is a good conductor of electricity because it contains ion.

5.It is acidic in litmus.

Chemical properties

Ethanol:-

1.Ethanol doesn't react with metal carbonate.

2.Ethanol doesn't react with NaOH.

3.Ethanol is oxidized to give ethanoic acid in presence of acidified KMnO4.

Ethanoic acid :-

1.Ethanoic acid react with metal carbonate to form salt ,CO2 and H2O.

2.Ethanoi acid react with NaOH to form sodium ethanoate and water.

3.In ethanoic acid no reaction take place on the presence of acidified KMnO4.
