What happens when (Write chemical equation in each case) 1. ethanol is burnt in air?

What happens when (Write chemical equation in each case)

  1. ethanol is burnt in air?
  2. ethanol is heated with excess cone. H2SO4 at 443 K?
  3. A piece of sodium is dropped into ethanol?

1.When ethanol is burnt in air, it gives CO2, HaO and Heat

C2H5OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Heat

2.When ethanol is heated with excess cone. H2S04 at 443K it gives ethene and water.

3.When a piece of sodium is drapped into ethanol, Hydrogen gas is evolved other product is sodium ethoxide.

2C2H5OH + 2Na → 2C2H5ONa + H2↑
