Identify the product formed when ethyl alcohol reacts with H_2SO_4...
Identify the product formed when ethyl alcohol reacts with at 443 K.
Options
- AEthoxy ethane
- BEthene
- CDimethyl ether
- DEthyl hydrogen sulphate
Correct answer
B. Ethene
Step-by-step solution
When ethyl alcohol is heated with concentrated at , it undergoes intramolecular dehydration to form ethene.
At a lower temperature of , intermolecular dehydration occurs to yield ethoxyethane (diethyl ether).
Thus, the product formed at is ethene.
