Question.9 Draw the structure of ethanol molecule.Question. 10 What happens when a small piece ofsodium is dropped into ethanol?

Answer»

Ethanol, also known as ethylalcoholand abbreviated as EtOH, is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid that is soluble in water. Its chemical formula is C2H6O, or can be written as C2H5OH or CH3CH2OH. It has one methyl (-CH3) group, one methylene (-CH2-) group, and one hydroxyl (-OH) group

If a small piece ofsodium is dropped intosomeethanol, it reacts steadily to give off bubbles of hydrogen gas and leaves a colourless solution ofsodiumethoxide, CH3CH2ONa.Sodiumethoxide is known as an alkoxide
