How Do Alcohols Affect Human Beings?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
(i) If ethanol is mixed with CH3<\/sub>OH and consumed, it causes serious poisoning and loss of eyesight. Ethanol reacts with sodium to produce hydrogen gas and sodium ethoxide. This reaction supports the acidic character of ethanol. An elimination reaction is a type of reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule. These reactions play an important role in the preparation of alkenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethanol reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K to produce ethylene. This reaction is known as dehydration of ethanol because, in this reaction, a water molecule is removed from the ethanol molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CH3<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>OH \u2192 CH2<\/sub>=CH2<\/sub>+H2<\/sub>O<\/p>\n\n\n\n (reaction taking place in presence of Conc.H2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n (i) Molecular formula: CH3<\/sub>COOH <\/p>\n\n\n\n When a carboxylic acid is refluxed with alcohol in the presence of a small quantity of conc.H2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>, a sweet-smelling ester is formed. This reaction of ester formation is called esterification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid in presence of conc.H2SO4, ethyl ethanoate and water are formed. (reaction taking place in presence of Conc.H2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A soap is a sodium or potassium salt of long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acid). The soap molecule is generally represented as RCOONa, where R = non-ionic hydrocarbon group and \u2212COO\u2212<\/sup>Na+<\/sup> ionic group. When oil or fat of vegetable or animal origin is treated with a concentrated sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, hydrolysis of fat takes place; soap and glycerol are formed. This alkaline hydrolysis of oils and fats is commonly known as saponification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethanoic acid (Acetic acid) reacts with metals like sodium, zinc and magnesium to liberate hydrogen gas. It reacts with a solution of sodium hydroxide to form sodium ethanoate and water. Carboxylic acids react with carbonates and bicarbonates with the evolution of CO2<\/sub> gas. For example, when ethanoic acid (acetic acid) reacts with sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, CO2<\/sub> gas is evolved. Ethanol (i) Ethanol, C2H5OH is a colourless liquid having a pleasant smell.(ii) It boils at 351 K.(iii) It is miscible with water in all proportions.(iv) It is a nonconductor of electricity (it does not contain ions)(v) It is neutral to litmus.
