Answer :

There are three processes involved in the conversion of ethane to ethanoic acid.

In first process, on the chlorination of the ethane in the presence of the sunlight or in the presence of U.V light, ethane converted into ethyl chloride.

In the second process, ethyl chloride react with the aqueous potassium hydroxide to give ethanol.

In the third process, ethanol react with an oxidizing agent (Alkaline potassium permanganate) to give ethanoic acid.

The reaction are shown below.

Ethane can be turned into its carboxylic acid form called the ethanoic acid by a series of steps. First chlirinate it in the presence of light. Then, add potassium hydroxide to get an alcohol. Finally, adding KMnO4 to oxidize it to a carboxylic acid. The equations are as follows:
C2H6 + Cl2  ---> C2H5Cl + HCl
C2H5Cl+KOH-> C2H5OH+ KCl.
C2H5OH  ----KMnO4 ---> CH3COOH.

Which type of chemical reaction occurs in 2KCIO3 → AKCI + 302?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Decomposition reaction

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

The given reaction is decomposition reaction.

Decomposition reaction:

It is the reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB → A + B

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD  → AC +BD

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Uh first of all this is algebra but I'll answer this

First distribute the three and 5 (Multiply them by both terms inside parenthesis.

3x-6=5x+20

Then add like terms

8x=14

Divide 8 by 8 and 8 by 14

x = 14/8

In the unbalanced equation given below, what is the element that is gaining electrons?
viktelen [127]

Hey there!:

HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + H2O + Cl2

* in HCl the oxidation state of Cl is -1 .

* on the product side the oxidation state is 0 .

* therefore Cl gains electrons .

* in  MnO2 the oxidation state of Mn is +4

* in MnCl2 the oxidation state of Mn is +2

Therefore Mn loses electrons

Answer A

Hope That helps!
