Convert ethane to acetic acid.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Ethane is first converted (oxidised) into ethyl alcohol, and then ethyl alcohol is oxidised into acetic acid in the presence of platinum at 300°C.
\[\ce{\underset{Ethane}{2C2H6} + O2 ->[475K Cu tube][120atm]\underset{Ethyl alcohol}{2C2H5OH}->[Pt][300^\circ C]\underset{Acetic acid}{CH3COOH} + H2O}\]

Raina while doing certain reactions observed that heating of substance ‘X’ with a vinegar-like smell with a substance ‘Y’ (which is used as an industrial solvent.) in the presence of conc. Sulphuric acid in a water bath gives a sweet-smelling liquid ‘Z’ having molecular formula C4H8O2. When heated with caustic soda (NaOH), ‘Z’ gives back the sodium salt and the compound ‘Y’.
Identify ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘Z’. Illustrate the changes with the help of suitable chemical equations.
