Answer is: there are two compounds with molecular formula C₂H₆O, one alcohol and one ethar.
Alcohol with molecular formula C₂H₆O is ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C₂H₅OH).
Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with characteristic odor.
Ether with molecular formula C₂H₆O is dimethyl ether (CH₃OCH₃).
Dimethyl ether is a colorless gas.
An Exothermic reaction releases energy into the surroundings and so the products have more potential energy then the reactants. The enthalpy change is a negative value. Whereas, an endothermic reaction involves the absorption of energy into the system and so the reactants have more potential energy than the products. The enthalpy change is a positive value. This is clearly represented in energy profile diagrams.
