Q

E. Complete combustion of ethanol?

A

ethanol + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water

18
Q

Reaction of ethanol with sodium?

A

sodium effervesces (gives off bubbles of gas), produces hydrogen gas and gets smaller as it forms sodium ethoxide solution

19
Q

E. Reaction of sodium and ethanol?

A

sodium + ethanol –> sodium ethoxide + hydrogen

20
Q

E. Oxidation of ethanol?

A

ethanol + oxygen atoms from oxidising agent –> ethanoic acid + water

21
Q

How can ethanol be oxidised?

A

by chemical oxidising agents or by action of microbes in the air

22
Q

pH value of carboxylic acid solutions?

A

less then 7

23
Q

Carboxylic acids are: strong or weak?

A

weak

24
Q

How are esters made?

reacting a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of s strong acid catalyst

25
Q

Uses of esters?

A

flavourings and perfumes
