Question : 7 of 12
Marks: +1, -0
On dropping a small piece of sodium in a test-tube containing carbon compound ' XX ' with molecular formula C2H6O\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_6\mathrm{O}, a brisk effervescence is observed and a gas ' YY ' is produced. On bringing a burning splinter at the mouth of the test-tube the gas evolved burns with a pop sound. Identify ' XX ' and ' YY '. Also write the chemical equation for the reaction. Write the name and structure of the product formed, when you heat ' XX ' with excess conc. sulphuric acid.
Solution:  
X=X= Ethanol C2H5OH\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{OH}
Y=H2 gas Y = \mathrm{H}_2 \, \text{ gas } \,
2C2H5OH+2Na2C2H5ONa+H22\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{OH} + 2\mathrm{Na} \rightarrow 2\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{H}_5\mathrm{ONa} + \mathrm{H}_2
