Answer

(i) Monochloro ethane is hydrolysed with aqueous KOH:

C2H5-Cl Chloroethane [ethyl chloride]+KOH [aq.]boilC2H5-OH Ethanol [ethyl alcohol]+KCl\underset{\text{ Chloroethane [ethyl chloride]}}{\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{-Cl}} + \text{KOH [aq.]} \xrightarrow{\text{boil}} \underset{\text{ Ethanol [ethyl alcohol]} }{\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{-OH}} + \text{KCl}

(ii) A mixture of sodalime and sodium acetate is heated:

CH3COONasodium acetate+NaOHsodalimeCaOΔCH4methane+Na2CO3\underset{\text{sodium acetate}}{\text{CH}3\text{COONa}} + \underset{\text{sodalime}}{\text{NaOH}} \underset{\Delta}{\xrightarrow{\text{CaO}}} \underset{\text{methane}}{\text{CH}4} + \text{Na}2\text{CO}3

(iii) Ethanol under high pressure and low temperature is treated with acidified potassium dichromate:

C2H5OH ethanol[ethyl alcohol]K2Cr2O7[O]CH3CHOethanal [acetaldehyde] K2Cr2O7[O]CH3COOHethanoic acid[acetic acid]\underset{ \text{ ethanol[ethyl alcohol]}}{\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{OH}} \xrightarrow[\text{K}2\text{Cr}2\text{O}7]{\text{[O]}} \underset{\text{ethanal [acetaldehyde] }}{\text{CH}3\text{CHO}} \xrightarrow[\text{K}2\text{Cr}2\text{O}7]{\text{[O]}} \underset{ \text{ethanoic acid[acetic acid]} }{\text{CH}3\text{COOH}}

(iv) Water is added to calcium carbide:

CaC2calcium carbide+2H2OwaterC2H2ethyne [acetylene]+Ca(OH)2\underset{\text{calcium carbide}}{\text{CaC}2} + \underset{\text{water}}{2\text{H}2\text{O}} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{ethyne [acetylene]}}{\text{C}2\text{H}2} + \text{Ca(OH)}_2

(v) Ethanol reacts with sodium at room temperature:

2C2H5OH ethanol+2Na2C2H5ONa sodium ethoxide+H2\underset{\text{ ethanol} }{2\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{OH}} + 2\text{Na} \longrightarrow \underset{\text{ sodium ethoxide} }{2\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{ONa}} + \text{H}_2
