Question

Addition reactions and substitution reactions are types of organic reactions. Which type of reaction is shown by :
(ii) ethene

Open in App

Solution

Ethene shows addition reaction. When ethene is heated with steam in the presence of a catalyst of phosphoric acid at high pressure and temperature, ethanol is formed.
$C_{2} H_{4} + H_{2} O \to C H_{3} C H_{2} O H$
