Question
What is the action of following on diethyl ether?
dil. H2SO4
Solution
Diethyl ether, when heated with dilute sulfuric acid, undergoes hydrolysis to give ethanol.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Diethyl ether}}{C2H5 - O - C2H5} + H - O - H ->[dil. H2SO4][\Delta] \underset{\text{Ethanol}}{2C2H5 - OH}}\]
