Question
An equimolar quantities of ethanol and propanol is heated with conc. $${H_2}S{O_4}.$$ The product formed is/are
A.
$${C_2}{H_5}O{C_2}{H_5}$$
B.
$${C_3}{H_7}O{C_3}{H_7}$$
C.
$${C_2}{H_5}O{C_3}{H_7}$$
D.
$${\text{all of these}}$$
Answer :
$${\text{all of these}}$$
Solution :
$${C_2}{H_5}OH + C{H_3}C{H_2}C{H_2}OH$$ \[\xrightarrow[\Delta ]{\text{conc}\text{. }{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\,+\] $${C_3}{H_7}O{C_3}{H_7} + {C_2}{H_5}O{C_3}{H_7}$$
