Question

write the structural formula of Ethanol what happens when it is heated with excess concentration of H2 S o4 at 443 Kelvin write the chemical equation for the reaction

Answer 1

The structural formula for ethanol is :-

           H     H

            l      l

    H - C  ₋  C  ₋  OH

           l       l

          H      H

CH₃ ₋ CH ₋ OH

⇒C₂H₅OH

When Ethanol is heated with Concentrated H₂SO₄ at 443 K ethanol uses water molecule to form alkene. This process is Known as Dehydration Process
