We have that the the liquid is
- C_2H_5OH (ethanol
- And at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170
From the question we are told
- A student wished to prepare <em>ethylene </em>gas by <em>dehydration </em>of ethanol at 140oC using sulfuric acid as the <em>dehydrating </em>agent.
- A low-boiling liquid was obtained instead of ethylene.
- What was the liquid, and how might the reaction conditions be changed to give ethylene
<h3>
Ethylene formation</h3>
Generally the equation is
2C_2H_5OH------CH3CH_2O-CH_2CH_3+H_20
Therefore
with ethanol at 140oC
The product is diethyl ethen
The reaction at 170 ethylene will give
C_2H_5OH-------CH_2=CH_2+H_2O( at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170)
Therefore
The the liquid is
