What does not react with bromine - propene ethanol chloroform acetylene?

Ethanol does not react with bromine.


How do you make sodium ethoxide?

You can either dissolve Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) in Ethanol or react sodium metal with ethanol. The safer method is dissolving Sodium Hydroxide but it doesn't dissolve easily in ethanol so you will need to heat the mixture to almost boiling and stir constantly for a fair while to get it to dissolve completely. Also, the ethanol cannot have any water in it - it must be 100% pure. Sodium metal reacts much more slowly with ethanol than it does with water and is a recognised safe method of dispoal for small amounts of sodium, but you would still need to be careful and only use 0.5-1.0g at a time. Both methods should be done only in a fume hood/cupboard due to the gases and vapours produced.


How do you destroy sodium metal?

To destroy sodium metal, you can completely react it with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Another method is to react it with ethanol to form sodium ethoxide. Both methods will neutralize the reactivity of sodium. Make sure to take appropriate safety precautions as the reactions can be highly exothermic.


What is the solubility of sodium sulfate in ethanol?

Sodium sulfate is sparingly soluble in ethanol, with a solubility of approximately 0.07 g/100 mL at room temperature.


How can one make sodium bisulfate?

To make sodium bisulfate, one can react sodium hydroxide with sulfuric acid. This reaction forms sodium bisulfate and water.

What would adding sodium hydride to ethanol produce?

Adding sodium hydride to ethanol would produce sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium hydride is a strong base and will react with ethanol to form the ethoxide salt and release hydrogen gas as a byproduct.


Sodium ethoxide prepration?

Sodium ethoxide can be prepared by reacting sodium metal with ethanol in an anhydrous environment. The reaction produces sodium ethoxide and hydrogen gas. Care should be taken when handling sodium metal due to its reactivity and the potential for violent reaction with water.


Is sodium sulfate soluble in ethanol?

Sodium sulfate is practically insoluble in ethanol. But it adsorbs ethanol as well as methanol.

No , it stays brown it just dissolves it it doesn't react
