Question

what is the action of dilute sulphuric acid under pressure on ethoxy ethane?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

=Alcohol (CH₃CH₂OH)

Explanation:

Let consider the reaction:

                                    R-O-R  + H₂O (dil. H₂SO₄) → 2R-OH

here, R= Alkyle group (this group can be different)

in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid at a given temperature with pressure ethoxy ethane reacts with water (H₂O→H⁺ + OH⁻) produce ethanol.
