Write down the reaction equations that can be used to carry out the following transformations
Write down the reaction equations that can be used to carry out the following transformations a) CH3Cl-C2H6-C2H4-C2H5OH-C2H5ONa b) CaC2-C2H2-C2H4-C2H6-C2H5Cl-C2H5OH
In this task you will need to write down the equations of chemical reactions.
a) CH3Cl – C2H6 – C2H4 – C2H5OH – C2H5ONa.
2CH3Cl + 2Na = C2H6 + 2NaCl.
Ethane and sodium chloride are formed.
C2H6 = C2H4 + H2.
Ethene and hydrogen are formed.
C2H4 + HOH = C2H5OH.
Ethanol is formed.
2C2H5OH + 2Na = C2H5ONa + H2.
Hydrogen and sodium ethylate are formed.
b) CaC2 – C2H2 – C2H4 – C2H6 – C2H5Cl – C2H5OH.
CaC2 + 2H2O = C2H2 + Ca (OH) 2.
Ethine and calcium hydroxide are formed.
C2H2 + H2 = C2H6.
Ethane is formed.
C2H6 + Cl2 = C2H5Cl + HCl.
Chloroethane and hydrochloric acid are formed.
C2H5Cl + NaOH = C2H5OH + NaCl.
Ethanol and sodium chloride are formed.
