Answer:

              Ethanol is completely miscible due to <u><em>presence</em></u> of Hydrogen bonding.

              Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to <u><em>absence</em></u> of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

                     The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

I believe it’s because they are trying to find other things that won’t pollute the environment as much, and they are also doing this because we are trying to reduce green house gas. Sorry if i’m wrong :(

<h2>CH_3CH_2OH  →  CH_3CHO </h2>

Explanation:

Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.

CH_3CH_2OH→  CH_3CHO [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]

  • An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.  
  • An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.

Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.

  • The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.  
  • In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
  • There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

     CH_3CHO  →  CH_3CH_2COOH [reduction by the gain of electrons]

Here, the oxidizing agent used isCr_3O in the presence of acetone.

Let's go over the given information. We have the volume, temperature and pressure. From the ideal gas equation, that's 4 out of 5 knowns. So, we actually don't need Pvap of water anymore. Assuming ideal gas, the solution is as follows:

PV=nRT
Solving for n,
n = PV/RT = (753 torr)(1 atm/760 torr)(195 mL)(1 L/1000 mL)/(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(25+273 K)
n = 7.897×10⁻³ mol H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2 g/mol.

Mass of H₂ = 7.897×10⁻³ mol * 2 g/mol = <em>0.016 g H₂</em>
