Wrong. Ethanol does not dissolve in water. Ethanol absorbs small ammounts of water and it readily mixes with water.

Alkanes do not react with water.

Alkenes however can form alcohols.

Ethene + water (with catalyst)----> Ethanol

C2H4(g) + H2O(g) ---> C2H5OH (l)

Chemical equation of ethanol?

This reaction depends upon ratio of both the reactants, ethanol with a largequantity of concentrated sulphuric acid on heating produces ethene. CH3-CH2-OH = CH2=CH2 + H2O But if ethanol is in excess then Diethyl ether is formed. 2CH3-CH2-OH = CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3 + H2O

Is ethanol a reactant or a product?

Your question is not right.ethanol is also know as ethyl alcohol. When you take the preparations of ethanol,here it acts as product example ethane reacts with water to give ethanol C2H4+H2O gives C2H5OH in this example ethanol is a product. When we take chemical or physical properties of ethanol it act as reactent in the chemical equation. Example-combustion or burning of ethanol in air gives carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH+3O2 gives 2CO2+3H20 in the above example ethanol is a reactent.
