Ethane can be obtained from ethanal in one step by
- A water
- B conc.
- C Aluminium isopropoxide and isopropyl alcohol
- D ether
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) conc.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ethanal can be reduced to ethane or ethanol easily by one step. Using clemmensen reagent, Zn-Hg and concentrated HCl ethanal can be reduced to ethane. Ethane is a hydrocarbon compound (alkane). Oxidation number is changed from +1 to -1. The reaction can be described as:…
