I think it is enzymes.Inside our body most of the chemical reactions are speeds up by enzymes.These enzymes decreases the minimum energy that is required for the reaction to happen. ;-]. Actually it works like a catalyst.
Seas are smaller than oceans. Oceans are where land and water meet, and are usually bigger.
Explanation:
Given -
- An organic compound gives H₂ gas with Na
- On treatment with alkaline iodine it gives yellow ppt.
- On oxidation with CrO₃/H⁺ forms an aldehyde (C₂H₄O)
To Find -
- Name the compound and write the reaction involved
Now,
Let A be the organic compound.
Then,
- A + Na → + H₂↑
- A + I₂ → CHI₃ (yellow ppt.)
- A + CrO₃ + H⁺ → C₂H₄O
Now,
Here we see that compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives aldehyde.
- Functional group of aldehyde = —CHO
And It forms only 2 Carbon aldehyde it means, It is Ethanal (CH₃CHO).
Compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives ethanal.
It means,
We know that 1° alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde.
Here it gives 2 Carbon aldehyde.
It means,
Here 2 Carbon and 1° alcohol is used.
Now,
Its cleared that Compound A is Ethanol.
Reaction Involved -
- CH₃CH₂OH + Na → CH₃CH₂O⁻Na⁺ + H₂↑
- CH₃CH₂OH + I₂ + OH⁻ → CHI₃↓ + HCOO⁻ + HI + H₂O
- CH₃CH₂OH + CrO₃ + H⁺ → CH₃CHO
