 Chemistry Properties

Elimination reaction Anhydrous ethanol is heated to 170℃ in concentrated sulfuric acid to produce ethylene. Concentrated sulfuric acid is used as dehydrating agent and catalyst.

Substitution reaction Anhydrous ethanol reacts with hydrobromic acid under heating conditions to form bromoethane and water.

Intermolecular dehydrated anhydrous ethanol was heated to 140℃ in concentrated sulfuric acid to produce ether and water.

Esterification reaction Anhydrous ethanol and carboxylic acid can be heated in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid to form corresponding ester compounds.

Reaction with metallic sodium Anhydrous ethanol reacts with metallic sodium to produce sodium glycolate and hydrogen gas.

Ethanol reacts with a solution of acid potassium permanganate or acid potassium dichromate to oxidize to acetic acid.
