1.

(i) Wirte machanism of hydration of ethene to yield ethanol. (ii) Write note on Williamson Ether synthesis.

Answer»

Solution :(i) MECHANISM of hydration of ethene :
`H_(2)SO_(4)hArr H^(+)+HSO_(4)^(-)`
`CH_(2)=CH_(2)+H^(+)rarr CH_(3)-overset(o+)CH_(2)`

(ii) Williamson.s Ether synthesis :
It is the REACTION of alhyl halide with sodium alkoxide/sodium phenoxide to FORM ether.
`CH_(3)I+C_(2)H_(5)O^(-)Na^(+)rarr NaI+underset("Ethyl methyl ether")(NaI+CH_(3)-O-C_(2)H_(5))`
