When ethanol is heated at 443 K with excess concentrated sulphuric acid it gives:
Ethanoic acid
Ethene
Ethyl Ethanoate
Methanoic acid
The concentrated sulphuric acid causes the dehydration of ethanol to ethene.
What happens when (Give equations of the chemical reaction) (i) Sodium ethanoate is heated with soda lime. (ii) Ethanoic acid is warmed with methanol in presence of concentrated sulphuric acid.
What happens when: (Write chemical reactions as well) (i) Sodium ethanoate is heated with soda lime. (ii) Ethanoic acid is warmed with methanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid.
IUPAC name of CH3COOH is:
