Answer:

The compounds that are included in the question are:

Compound A: C2H4 - Ethylene or Ethene

Compound B: CH3COOH – Acetic acid

Compound C: C2H5OH – Ethyl alcohol

Compound D: C2H6 – Benzene

1) Out of the compounds A, B, C, D, Compound D or benzene is an example of saturated hydrocarbon.

2) Out of the above compounds, Compound B or acetic acid is an organic acid with the structural formula of

3) When Ethyl alcohol reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid at 443K it forms ethene as one of the products. In this reaction sulfuric acid acts like a catalysts and dehydrating agent.

The following reaction takes place:

C2H5OH + conc. H2SO4 -------> C2H4 + H2O

4) When ethyl alcohol reacts with acetic acid in the presence of the catalyst, sulfuric acid, it leads to an esterification reaction. The ester product that is formed is known as ethyl ethanoate as follows:

Ethyl ethanoate is a small ester molecule that has a sweetish odor and is used in perfumes, pharmaceuticals or flavorings.

Answer 2

Answer:

here let me help you buddy ...

I guess this is the sample paper question of class 10th of academic session 2020

here I'll provide you the answer of this question

Explanation:

1) D is saturated hydrocarbon

2) B is an organic acid

3) structural formula see the attached filed

C is the compound

it acts as a dehydrating agent and removes a water molecule from ethanol

C2H5OH gives on adding C2H4 + H2O
