Give a chemical test to distinguish between ethanol and ethanoic acid. |
|
Answer» Take two test tubes, add ethanol and ethanoic acid in test tube A and B respectively. Add sodium carbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate solution in both the test tubes, the test tube which will produce brisk effervescence of CO2 gas will contain ethanoic acid. Ethanol do not evolve CO2 gas when reacted with Na2CO3/ NaHCO3. |
