Question

What happens when (give chemical equation)
Sodium reacts with ethanol (ethyl alcohol)

Answer 1

Answer:

when sodium reacts with ethanol to give sodium ethoxide and hyrogen gas

chemical equation- 2Na+2 C2H5OH= 2C2H5ONA+H2

Answer 2

Reaction yields Sodium Ethoxide

Explanation:

• Ethanol reacts with sodium to produce sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas:

Ethanol - $C_2H_5OH$

Sodium - Na

The reaction is -

$2C_2H_5OH + 2Na$ -----> $2C_2H_5CONa + H_2$

Ethanol                        Sodium Ethoxide
