First of all, ether and alcohol are two separate things. I think you are asking how to make ETHYL alcohol.

Most alcohol production is a by-product of natural processes, such as the growth of yeast in a barley/hops mix. You take a large vat of this mix and introduce yeast. The yeast grow and multiply, producing alcohol in the process. You then strain out the mush and are left with a delicious concoction of alcohol and flavored water. If you want it stronger, you distill it.

But why you would want to make Ethyl alcohol instead of delicious, nutritious beer, I have no idea....

Why does the ether precipitate when the alcoholic reaction mixture is poured into water?

The ether precipitates when the reaction mixture is poured into water because ether is less soluble in water compared to alcohol. Therefore, when the reaction mixture contains ether and alcohol is mixed with water, the ether separates out and forms a separate layer due to its low solubility in water.


Which evaporates faster alcohol or ether?

There are two reasons for this; {1} boiling point: Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low. {2} intermolecular forces: The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low. The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.

Why can't alcohol be substituted for ether as an extraction solvent?

Alcohol is more polar and less volatile than ether, which can result in lower extraction efficiency and longer extraction times. Additionally, alcohol can form azeotropes with water that can complicate the extraction process. Ether is also considered safer due to its lower flammability compared to alcohol.


Why is benzyl alcohol soluble in ether?

Benzyl alcohol is soluble in ether because both benzyl alcohol and ether are nonpolar in nature. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve in other nonpolar solvents such as ether. This is due to the lack of significant difference in electronegativity between the molecules, allowing for interactions such as London dispersion forces to occur.
