Question

What happens when ethane is heated with water in present of mercury sulphate?

Answer 1

Ethane (CH CH ), being just an alkane, will not react with the water or the acid, as ethane has no reactive sites. However, ethene (a.k.a. ethylene) (CH =CH ), having an electrophilic double bond, will react with water in the presence of an acid catalyst to form ethanol (if I'm not mistaken).
