According to this reaction, ethanol is :
2C$ _2$H$ _5$OH + 2Na -----> 2C$ _2$H$ _5$ONa + H$ _2$

  1. Acidic in nature

  2. Basic in anture

  3. Amphoteric

  4. Neutral


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As ethanol has donated $H^{+}$ it suggests that it has acidic nature. Acid is defined as the substance which has replaceable $H^{+}$ions. In the products side, it has donated and became the reason for the formation of hydrogen molecule. Hence, option A is the correct answer. 

 When ethanol react with sodium,which gas will produce?

  1. hydrogen

  2. oxygen

  3. sodium ethoxide

  4. carbon dioxide


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If a small piece of sodium is dropped into some ethanol, it reacts steadily to give off bubbles of hydrogen gas and leaves a colourless solution of sodium ethoxide, $CH _3CH _2ONa$ and hydrogen gas is evolved.

$2C _2H _5OH + 2Na \rightarrow 2C _2H _5ONa + H _2$ Option A is correct.

An organic compound 'A' produces a gas with brisk effervescence when sodium bicarbonate is added to it. The compound 'A' contains same number of carbons as in ethane. The compound 'A' reacts with ethanol to form a sweet smelling compound 'C' in presence of conc. $H _2SO _4$. A and C respectively are :

  1. ethanoic acid and ethyl ethanoate

  2. methanoic acid and ethyl methanoate

  3. ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate

  4. methanoic acid and sodium methanoate


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ethanoic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate, to form carbon dioxide which produces effervescence as: 


$CH _{3}COOH + NaHCO _{3} \rightarrow CH _{3}COONa + H _{2}O + CO _{2}$ 

Also, ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol to form the ester - ethyl ethanoate as follows: 


$CH _{3}COOH + C _{2}H _{5}OH \overset{conc.\ H _{2}SO _{4}}{\longrightarrow} CH _{3}COOCH _{2}CH _{3} + H _2O$ 

Thus, A is ethanoic acid and C is ethyl ethanoate.

Which of the following is a property of ethanol?

  1. Ionic compound

  2. Noble gas

  3. Polar covalent compound

  4. Nonpolar covalent compound

  5. Metallic substance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$C _2H _5OH$ has polar covalent $C-O$ bond due to significant electronegativity difference between $C$ and$ O.$ Similarly $O-H$ bond is also polar covalent due to significant electronegativity difference between $O$ and $H$ atoms.
A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. When this electron sharing is to an equal extent, the bond is non polar covalent. Otherwise the bond is polar covalent.

Name the process for ethanol to ethene conversion and reactants used.
  1. hydrogenation of ethanol in the presence of concentrated $H _{2}SO _{4}.$

  2. dehydration of ethanol in the presence of concentrated $H _{2}SO _{4}.$

  3. oxidation of ethanol in the presence of concentrated $H _{2}SO _{4}.$

  4. reduction of ethanol in the presence of concentrated $H _{2}SO _{4}.$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ethanol can be converted to ethene as:

    $CH _{3}CH _{2}OH \xrightarrow[hot]{conc.H _{2}SO _{4}} CH _{2}= CH _{2} + H _{2}O$

In above reaction, dehydration of ethanol takes place in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid.
Hence, the correct option is B.

Which out of the following has smell similar to that of vinegar?

  1. Methanol

  2. Ethanol

  3. Ethanoic acid

  4. Formic acid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vinegar is a liquid having acetic acid and water as its mixture. So, ethanoic acid is the other name of acetic acid and this smell of vinegar is similar to ethanoic acid. 

Ethanol is:

  1. ionic compound

  2. noble gas

  3. polar covalent compound

  4. non-polar covalent compound


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ethanol can be written as $CH _3-CH _2-OH$. The oxygen atom in the hydroxyl ($OH$) group is highly electronegative and hence attracts the electrons towards itself. Thus, ethanol is a polar compound with its electrons more towards the oxygen atom. Although ($C _2H _5$) group is non polar.

All the bonds in ethanol are covalent in nature. The bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms.
Thus, option $C$ is the correct answer.
