1.	An organic compound 'P' is a constituent of wine. 'P' on reacting with acidified K2Cr2O7 forms another compound 'Q'. When a piece of sodium is added to 'Q' a gas 'R' evolves which burns with a pop sound. Identify P, Q and R and write the chemical equations of the reactions involve
Answer» P-Ethanol, Q-Ethanoic acid., R-Hydrogen CH₃CH₂OH+Acidified → K₂Cr₂O₇ CH₃COOH 2CH₃COOH+2Na → 2CH₃COONa+H₂

Answer»

P-Ethanol, Q-Ethanoic acid., R-Hydrogen

CH₃CH₂OH+Acidified → K₂Cr₂O₇ CH₃COOH

2CH₃COOH+2Na → 2CH₃COONa+H₂
