Answer 2

Chemical properties of ethanol

1. Newton character:ethanol is neutral in character and their food it does not affect litmus solution.

2. Combustion: ethanol is highly volatile uncomfortable because it burns with smokeless blue flame.

C5H5OH +3O2 gives 2CO2+3H2O+ Heat.

it is therefore a cleaner fuel as it gives only carbon dioxide and water on birthday with sufficient oxygen therefore the largest single use of ethanol as a motor fuel oil and fuel additive.

3. Reaction with sodium....the chemical equation of the reaction between ethanol and sodium is as follows C2 h5 0h + 2Na gives sodium ethoxide + hydrogen that is to C2 h5 o n a + H2.

This reaction is used as a test for alcohols or alcoholic group.
