Answer:

The acid must be a concentrated acid

Explanation:

Ethene is prepared in the laboratory by heating ethanol with excess concentrated tetraoxosulphate VI acid at 170°C . The reactionoccursc in two stages;

1) when the ethanol and sulphuric acid are mixed in a ratio of 1:2, ethyl hydrogentetraoxosulpate VI is formed

2) The compound formed in the first step is heated in the presence of excess concentrated sulphuric acid to give ethene and sulphuric acid.

The overall reaction can be perceived as the dehydration of ethanol. The gas produced (ethene) is usually passed through sodium hydroxide solution to remove any gaseous impurities present.

concentrated sulphuric acid is used in this process since it is a good dehydrating agent.

Which of the following is not true for an exothermic reaction?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The false statement regarding an exothermic reaction is: A. the products have a higher enthalpy than reactants

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves the release of energy from the system to the surroundings. Thus increasing the temperature of the surroundings.

In this reaction, the enthalpy or energy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy or energy of the products. ( $\Delta H_{f} (Products) < \Delta H_{f} (reactants)$ )
