Question

In an experiment to study the properties of ethanoic acid, a student takes about 3 ml of ethanoic acid in a dry test-tube. He adds an equal amount of distilled water to it and shakes the test-tube well. After some time he is likely to observe that : (A) a colloid is formed in the test-tube. (B) the ethanoic acid dissolves readily in water. (C) the solution becomes light orange. (D) water floats over the surface of ethanoic acid.

Answer 1

Answer:

a colloidal is formed in the test tube

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

(B) the ethanoic acid dissolves readily in water

● Explaination -

Ethanoic acid is water soluble liquid. i.e. ethanol and water are miscible with each other. Hence, when ethanoic acid is mixed with water, ethanoic acid dissolves readily in water and we get clear solution of ethanoaic acid.
