3
Q
Ethene + water –>
What is this reaction called ?

4
Q
How do alcohols react with water ?
A
Dissolve in water to form a neutral solution.
Producting hydrogen and a salt.
5
Q
Conditions for formation of alcohols (ethanol)
2 methods
A
Phosphoric acid catalyst
High temperature and pressure
Reaction is reversible so unreacted steam and ethene are recycled over catalyst.
Produces pure ethanol
Fermentation only produces 40%
Takes longer.
