There are many methods. A few are listed below:

1. by the hydrogenation of ethene.

2. by the hydrogenation of ethyne.

3. by the reaction of methyl halide in presence of sodium (Wurtz reaction).

What do ethane and ethanol have in common?

Ethane is an alkane with the chemical formula C2H6. Ethanol is an alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH, corresponding to ethane.


How is ethane obtained from ethanol?

according to me, ethane can't be prepared from ethanol. but you can prepare ethene from ethanol by treating ethanol with conc. H2SO4 (95%) In 440 K Temperature with release of water molecule.


Which aldehyde is derived from ethane?

Ethanal (also known as acetaldehyde) is the aldehyde derived from ethane. It has the chemical formula CH3CHO.


How do you convert ethane to ethanoic acid?

Ethane cannot be directly converted to ethanoic acid. However, a common way to prepare ethanoic acid is through the oxidation of ethanol (using methods such as the oxidation with chromic acid or potassium permanganate). Ethanol can be obtained from ethane through hydration, where ethane is reacted with steam in the presence of a catalyst to form ethanol.


What is the benefit of using ethane?

It is continuous (so it runs all the time). Very few workers are needed so that reduces costs. It is a relatively fast process. The ethanol comes out pure and no treatment is needed to get rid of impurities.


What is used to make ethanol for fuel?

Fuel grade ethanol can be made by biological or chemical routes.For biologically based ethanol starches or sugars from plants are fermented under anaerobic conditions and the produced ethanol is distilled to the desirable level of purity.For the chemical process, light gases from petroleum is reacted to create ethane or ethylene and an OH- is substituted for one of the hydrogen's in the alkane or inserted into the double bond to make ethanol.


How is polyvinyl acetate extracted from crude oil?

1 you will need an ester called vinyl acetate, to make the ester you need ethanoic acid and hydroxy ethane obtain ethane from crude oil by fractional distillation treat ethane with bromine in the presence of UV light. treat with aqueous NaOH to form ethanol we have got ethanol we need ethanoic acid add acidified potassium dichromate and conc H2SO4 condition: Heat under reflux.


What happens when ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170 C?

There is formation of ethoxy ethane. (ether)


What is the lab method preparation of ethane?

Ethane can be prepared in the laboratory by reacting sodium ethoxide with ethyl iodide in anhydrous conditions. Another method involves the reaction of sodium acetate with sodium hydroxide followed by treatment with sulfuric acid to yield ethane gas.


What is the product of reacting ethane with hydrochloric acid and water?

The reaction of ethane with hydrochloric acid and water produces ethanol and hydrogen chloride gas as products. Ethanol is formed by the hydrolysis of ethyl chloride, which is a byproduct of the reaction.


Does ethane conduct electricity?

Pure ethanol, like pure water, is a poor conductor of electricity. This is because there are nearly no electrolytes in the substance, besides the negligible number that form as a result of auto-ionization. Therefore, the charge cannot be carried through the ethanol. However, impurities may substantially increase the conductivity of an ethanol solution.


Which quantity is the same for one mole of ethanol and one mole of ethane?

The total number of molecules is equal.
