Question

When ethanol is heated at 170 °C with conc. H2SO4, it forms an organic compound
'A' and water. The compound 'A'reacts with hydrogen in the presence of nickel to form 'B'.
Name the compound A and write its chemical formula.
b. Name the compound B and write its chemical formula.
Write the chemical equation of the reaction involved in formation of 'B' from 'A'.
d. Identify the homologous series to which A and B belongs.
'B' undergoes combustion in presence of sufficient amount of oxygen to release large
amount of heat and light. Write its chemical equation.
e.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When ethanol is heated at 170 °C with conc. H2SO4, it forms an organic compound

'A' and water. The compound 'A'reacts with hydrogen in the presence of nickel to form 'B'.

Name the compound A and write its chemical formula.

b. Name the compound B and write its chemical formula.

Write the chemical equation of the reaction involved in formation of 'B' from 'A'.
