Question
Using appropriate catalysts, ethane can be oxidized to an alcohol. Name the alcohol formed when ethane is oxidized.
Solution 1
Ethane → Alcohol
\[\ce{2C2H6 + O2 ->[Cu][200°C] 2C2H5OH}\]
The alcohol is ethanol.
Solution 2
When a mixture of ethane and oxygen in the ratio 9:1 by volume is compressed to about 120 atm pressure and passed over copper tubes at 475K, ethyl alcohol is formed.
\[\ce{2C2H6 + O2 ->[120atm][Cutubes 475K] 2C2H5OH}\]
