1.	List two chemical properties on the basis of which ethanol and ethanoicacid may be differentiated and explain how.OR
Answer» Chemical properties: Ethanol:1.Ethanol doesn't react with metal carbonate. 2.Ethanol doesn't react with NaOH. 3.Ethanol is oxidized to give ethanoic acid in presence of acidified KMnO4. Ethanoic acid :1.Ethanoic acid react with metal carbonate to form salt, CO2 and H2O. 2.Ethanoic acid react with NaOH to form sodium ethanoate and water. 3.In ethanoic acid no reaction take place in the presence of acidified KMnO4.

List two chemical properties on the basis of which ethanol and ethanoicacid may be differentiated and explain how.OR

Answer»

Chemical properties:

Ethanol:1.Ethanol doesn't react with metal carbonate.

2.Ethanol doesn't react with NaOH.

3.Ethanol is oxidized to give ethanoic acid in presence of acidified KMnO4.

Ethanoic acid :1.Ethanoic acid react with metal carbonate to form salt, CO2 and H2O.

2.Ethanoic acid react with NaOH to form sodium ethanoate and water.

3.In ethanoic acid no reaction take place in the presence of acidified KMnO4.
