Question

Which one of the following is not a suitable method for the preparation of ethanol?
A
oxidation of ethane
B
hydration of ethene
с
reduction of ethanal
D
hydrolysis of bromoethane

Answer 1

Answer:

hydration of ethene

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxidation of Ethane (A)

Explanation:

Hydration of ethene is an industrial process to produce ethanol. Ethanal is reduced to Ethanol with reducing agents such as Sodium borohydride. Bromoethane can be hydrolysed using Sodium hydroxide. Even though Sodium hydroxide isn't water itself, in hydrolysis reactions, OH- (hydroxide) ions are used to separate molecules. Sodium hydroxide produces OH- ions and hydrolyses Bromoethane to produce ethanol. This leaves A
