By heating ethyl alcohol from 160°C to 170°C, we obtain:
Show Hint
- \( C_2H_5OC_2H_5 \)
- \( C_2H_6 \)
- \( C_2H_4 \)
- \( CH_3COCH_3 \)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Top Questions on Alcohols
Alcohols undergo a number of reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. However, phenols do not undergo reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. Alcohols are weaker acids than water. Alcohols react with halogen acids to form the corresponding haloaklanes. Phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. A charac- teristic feature of phenols is that they undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, etc. Since –OH group is a strong activating group, phenol gives trisubstituted products during halogenation, nitration, etc.
