Write the reaction equations: ethylene = ethanol = chloroethane.

Ethylene in the presence of catalysts is capable of a hydration reaction – the addition of a water molecule to form an alcohol.

H2C = CH2 + HOH → CH3 – CH2OH.

Alcohols react with hydrogen halides.

CH3 – CH2OH + HCl → CH3 – CH2Cl + H2O.
