Q: What is the primary product when ethene reacts with water in the presence of an acid?
Solution:
The reaction of ethene with water in the presence of an acid (hydration) produces ethanol.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Start with ethene, which is a simple hydrocarbon with the formula C2H4.
Step 2: Introduce water (H2O) to the reaction.
Step 3: Add an acid, which acts as a catalyst to speed up the reaction.
Step 4: The acid helps to break the double bond in ethene, allowing water to react with it.
Step 5: The result of this reaction is the formation of ethanol, which has the formula C2H5OH.
