Chapter 3, Problem 3.159(choose chapter or problem)
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water: 2CH3CH2OH(l) CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) _ H2O(g) In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water: CH3CH2OH(l) CH2 CH2(g) _ H2O(g) (a) If 50.0 g of ethanol yields 35.9 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? (b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?
