Question
Under what conditions does ethane get converted to ethyl alcohol?
Solution 1
Ethane is mixed with oxygen and is passed through a hot copper tube; it gets oxidized to ethyl alcohol.
\[\ce{2C2H6 + O2 ->[Cu][200^\circ C] 2C2H5OH}\]
Solution 2
Step 1:
C2H6 is converted into C2H5Cl
C2H6 + Cl2 → C2H5Cl + HCl
Step 2:
By hydrolysis of Ethyl Halides
\[\ce{\underset{[Ethyl chloride]}{C2H5Cl} + NaOH -> \underset{[Ethyl alcohol]}{C2H5OH} + NaCl}\]
