What do you observe when you drop a piece of sodium into ethanol? Name the gas evolved. How do you test this gas? Write the chemical equation for the reaction. |
|
Answer» Solution :When a piece of sodium metal is dropped in ethanol, it reacts vigorously with the evolution of hydrogen GAS. sodium + ethanol → sodium ETHOXIDE + hydrogen `2Na_((s)) + 2C_2 H_5 OH_((l)) to2C_2 H_5ONa_((l)) + H_(2(g))` Hydrogen gas can be TESTED by exposing a burning matchstick to the gas, hydrogen burns with a POP sound and puts off the match stick. |
