Question

What is Williamson's continuous etherification process? Is it a continuous process? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction involved is as follows: In this reaction alcohol is taken in excess and ether is distilled as soon as formed. Since, H2SO4 remains undiminished in the reaction flask theoretically, this process is known as continuous etherification process.

Answer 2

Answer:
A chemical process in which excess of alcohol is distilled with conce. sulphuric acid at 43 k to formed ether is called williamsons etherification process.
it is a continuous process in which diethyl ether is formed.
. As H2SO4 remains undiminished in the reaction flask theoretically, this process is known as the continuous etherification process.
