Answer» a) Ethanol to EthaneStep-1:-Dehydration of ethanol.CH3CH2OH + H2SO4 (+ heat) -----> CH2=CH2 (ethene) When ethanol is heated in presence of concentrated H₂SO₄,dehydration takes place to give ethene. Step-2:—Hydrogenation of ethylene.CH2=CH2 + H2 (+ Pt as a catalyst) ----> CH3CH3 (ethane) when ethylene is reacted with hydrogen in presence of nickel, ethane is obtained. b)Propanol to propanoic acid Propanol can be converted to propanoic acid by oxidation with potassium manganate.The equation is as follows: KMnO4CH3CH2CH2OH -------------> CH3CH2COOH |
