Make the equation: Ethane-ethylene-ethanol-ethanal-ethanic acid-ethyl acetate-ethanol-ethylene-carbon dioxide
Let’s carry out the solution of the chain of transformations:
С2Н6 = Н2 + Н2С = СН2 – reaction of ethane dehydrogenation, ethylene was obtained;
Н2С = СН2 + Н2О = Н3С – СН2ОН – hydration, ethanol is released;
С2Н5ОН + CuO = CH3 – COH + Cu + H2O – alcohol oxidation with copper oxide occurs when heated, ethanal is formed;
CH3 – СОН + Ag2O = CH3 – COOH + 2Ag – qualitative reaction for aldehyde, ethanic acid was obtained;
CH3 – COOH + C2H5OH = CH3 – COO – C2H5 + H2O – esterification, ethyl acetate is isolated;
CH3 – COO – C2H5 + H2O = CH3 – COOH + C2H5 – OH – hydrolysis of the ester, acetic acid and ethanol were formed;
C2H5 – OH = H2O + H2C = CH2 – ethanol dehydration, ethylene was obtained;
С2Н4 + 3О2 = 2СО2 + 2Н2О – combustion of ethylene, carbon dioxide is released.
These reactions confirm the connection between inorganic and organic compounds by the example of ethane and carbon monoxide (4).
