Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the search-in-place domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Chemical Properties of Ethanol — Chemistry Keypoint

Chemical Properties of Ethanol

1. Combustion – They burn in oxygen to form water and carbon (iv) oxide.
C2H6OH(aq) + 3O2(g)  →  2CO2(g) + 3H2O(L)

2. It reacts with sodium or potassium to liberate hydrogen gas.
2Na(s) + 2C2H6OH(aq)  →  2CH6ON(aq) + H2(g)

3. Oxidation – It is oxidized partially into alkanol and completely into ethanoic acid in the presence of oxidizing agent like KMnO4 or KCr2O7

C2H5OH(aq)  →  CH3CHO(g) + H2O(L)

CH2CHO(g)  →  CH3COOH(aq)

4. Esterification – It is the reaction between alkanol and alkanoic acid to form alkanoate and water.
C2H5OH(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) →  CH3COOC2H5(aq)

5. Dehydration – It is dehydrated in the presence of Conc. H2SO4 at 1700c to form ethene.
CH2H5OH(aq)  →  C2H4(g)
