Calculate the degree of reduction for ethanol, where the degree of reduction of C=4, H=1, O=-2.(a) γ = 9(b) γ = 6(c) γ = 3(d) γ = 2

Answer» Correct option is (b) γ = 6

To elaborate: Ethanol (C2H5OH) = 2(4) + 6(1) + 1(-2) = 12,

γ = 12/2 = 6

As, the number of equivalents of available electrons per gram atom C is the measure of degree of reduction.
