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.

Physical properties of glass bottle

Paul [167]

Glass is a hard substance that consists of sand, soda ash and limestone. When these substances are heated together, their molecules bond to form the substance we know as glass. We use glass for many purposes, and glass bottles have become a popular method of storage, as well as being used in chemical experiments.

miv72 [106K]

The changes in matter/energy can be classified as follows:

Physical changes - Crystallizing salt from seawater
Chemical changes - ripening fruit
Nuclear changes - production of elements in the stars

<h3>What are physical, chemical and nuclear changes?</h3>

Matter and energy undergo physical, chemical and nuclear changes.

Physical changes are changes in which no new product is formed.

Chemical changes are changes in which no new product is formed.

Nuclear changes are changes in which no new product is formed.

Examples of each of the given changes is as follows:

Physical changes - Crystallizing salt from seawater
Chemical changes - ripening fruit
Nuclear changes - production of elements in the stars

Therefore, matter/energy undergo changes.
