Question

write the name and structure of parent alkane of ethanol. what happens when ethanol is heated with alkaline Kmno4 solution?name the main product obtained by the reaction of ethanol with ethnoic acid in the presence of Conc.h2so4.

Answer 1

the name of parent alkane of ethanol is ethane
CH3-CH3
when ethanol is heated with KMNO4 as a catalyst then it turns into ethanoic acid
CH3-CH2-OH + O2 ------> CH3-COOH + H2O
when ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid then it forms a sweet smelling compound called as ester that is also called as ethyl ethanoate and glycerol

Answer 2

when ethanol is heated with kmno4 then ethanol undergoes oxidation reaction
equation
c2h5oh + o2 gives ch3cooh

the reaction between ethanol and ethanoic acid is esterification reaction
c2h5oh+ch3cooh gives ch3cooc2h5 + h2o where the product name is Ethyl ethonate
