Question

Write four characteristics of a neutral organic compound ' $A$ ' is $C_{2} H_{6} O$ which gives the following reactions:
(i) Gives an acidic compound ' $B$ ' on oxidation with acidified potassium dichromate.
(ii) Compound ' $A$ ' on heating with ' $B$ ' in presence of concentrated $H_{2} {S O}_{4}$ gives a sweet smelling substance ' $C$ '.
Identify the compounds $A, B, C$ . Give the equation of the related reactions.

Solution

The compound (A) is ethanol. Its reactions are shown below.
Characteristics of ethanol:
1) It is colourless, sweet-smelling liquid.
2) It is completely soluble in water.
3) It reacts with active metals like $N a$ or $K$ with the liberation of heat.
4) It forms inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. Hence, it has high boiling points.
