Give a balanced chemical equation of Preparation of Ethane from Sodium propionate.
Laboratory preparation of Ethane from Sodium propionate: Ethane (C2H6) is prepared by heating sodium propionate (C2H5COONa)with soda lime (NaOH+CaO)
Balanced chemical equation:
C2H5COONa(s)Sodiumpropionate+NaOH(s)Sodiumhydroxide→CaO/3000CNa2CO3(s)Sodiumcarbonate+C2H6(g)Ethane
Write the equations for the following lab. preparations: (a) Ethane from sodium propionate, (b) Ethene from Iodoethane, (c) Ethyne from calcium carbide, (d) Methanol from Iodomethane.
Name the compound prepared from : (a) sodium propionate, (b) methyl iodide and (c) ethyl bromide. Write a balanced equation for the same.
