Question

molecular mass of an organic solvent p is 46 u p is used to remove chlorophyll from the leaf in the lab.
A) p is treated with conc. H2s04. Write the equation for the reaction.
B) the role of conc. H2s04 in the above reaction?
C) the product obtained in the above reaction is treated with H2 gas.
1) write the equation for the reaction.
2) what is the practical application of the above reaction.
D) name the homologous series to which the product obtained in case( C) 1) belongs :
Write any 2 isomers of the 6th member of the above homologous series.

Answer 1

Ethanol is the solvent
  role of h2so4 is dehydrating agent

c2h4 is formed

c2h4 + h2 gives c2h6

c2h6 belongs to alkane series

sixth member of alkane is hexane and its two isomers are
neohexane and cyclohexane
