Write down the reaction equations with which you can carry out the following transformations: ethane, ethylene, ethyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, ethyl acetate.

Let’s write the equations:
C2H6 = C2H4 + H2 – dehydrogenation reaction, ethylene is released;
С2Н4 + Н2О = С2Н5ОН – hydration, ethyl alcohol was obtained;
С2Н5ОН + CuO = CH3 – COH + Cu + H2O – oxidation of alcohol with copper oxide when heated, acetaldehyde and copper were formed;
СН3 – СОН + Cu (OH) 2 = CH3COOH + Cu2O + 2H2O – qualitative reaction for aldehyde, acetic acid was obtained;
CH3COOH + C2H5OH = CH3COO – C2H5 + H2O – esterification occurs when heated in the presence of sulfuric acid as a dehydrating agent, ethyl acetate is formed;
These reactions confirm the connection between hydrocarbons and oxygen-containing organic substances. The reaction products are of practical importance, for example, ethyl acetate (ethyl acetate) is used as a solvent.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
