Ethanol is an alcohol. it mixes with water and burns to make carbon dioxide and water. The carbon connected to the O-H molecule in ethanol reacts with oxygen to make ethanoic acid (found in vinegar).

Why ethanol cannot react with bromine water?

Ethanol does not react with bromine water because it lacks enough unsaturation or pi bonds in its molecular structure to undergo a bromination reaction. Bromine water typically reacts with compounds containing carbon-carbon double bonds (alkenes) or aromatic rings that can participate in electrophilic addition reactions with bromine. Ethanol, being a simple alcohol, does not possess these reactive sites for bromination to occur.


What type of bond is ethanol?

Ethanol, C2H5OH contains covalent bonds. There are hydrogen bonds between molecules in liquid ethanol.


How many bonds between carbon in ethanol?

20


Is urea soluble in ethanol?

Yes, urea is soluble in ethanol. Urea is a polar compound that forms hydrogen bonds with the polar solvent ethanol, which allows it to dissolve in ethanol.


In terms of bonding why does ethanol and water miscible?

The polar group -OH of ethanol is bonded to water by hydrogen bonds.


Are double and triple binds between C atoms more reactive or less reactive than single bonds?

Double and triple bonds between carbon atoms are more reactive than single bonds due to the presence of pi bonds, which are more easily broken compared to sigma bonds. Pi bonds allow for greater electron delocalization and increased reactivity in chemical reactions.


How many bonds are there in ethanol or dimethylether?

Ethanol has one hydrogen-oxygen bond, one carbon-oxygen bond, one carbon-carbon bond, and five carbon-hydrogen bonds. Dimethyl ether has six carbon-hydrogen bonds and two carbon-oxygen bonds.


Would Citric acid react with Ethanol How reactive is Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol to Acids?

Yes, citric acid can react with ethanol to form esters. Ethanol is a weak acid and can react with stronger acids like citric acid to form esters through acid-catalyzed esterification reactions. The reactivity of ethanol with acids depends on the strength of the acid and the conditions of the reaction.


How many carbon bonds are there in C2H5OH?

There are 2 carbon-carbon bonds and 4 carbon-hydrogen bonds in C2H5OH (ethanol).


Is surgical spirit a covalent or ionic compound?

Ethanol has covalent bonds.


Is oxygen more reactive than sulfur?

Oxygen is generally more reactive than sulfur. Oxygen is highly electronegative and readily forms bonds with other elements, while sulfur is less reactive and tends to form fewer bonds.


Does C2H5OH have hydrogen bonds?

C2H5OH is the formula for ethanol, an organic compound. Hydrogen bonds are possible for ethanol at the intermolecular level, between molecules, but not for the intramolecular carbon-hydrogen or the oxygen-hydrogen bonding within the molecule. Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than true chemical bond.A good example of a hydrogen bond is that which makes water a liquid at normal temperature and pressure.
