(ii) Action of alcoholic KOH on bromoethane.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Preparation of ethane from Sodium propionate:

$\underset{\text{sodium propionate}}{\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{COONa}} + \underset{\text{sodalime}}{\text{NaOH}} \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{CaO}} \underset{\text{ethane}}{\text{C}_2\text{H}_6} + \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3$

(ii) Action of alcoholic KOH on bromoethane:

$\underset{\text{ Bromoethane [ethyl bromide]}}{\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{-Br}} + \underset{\text{ alcoholic KOH}}{\text{KOH [aq.]}} \xrightarrow{\text{boil}} \underset{ \text{ ethyl alcohol}} {\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}} + \text{KBr}$
