Question Number 38155 by Rio Mike last updated on 22/Jun/18

Propanol ,(C_3 H_7 OH) is an alcohol.  a) State the functional group in   propanol that makes it alcohol.  b) Ethanol can be converted to a number  of compounds as shown below.                         Ethene→ Ethane                              ↑                 Ethylethanoate      ⇆   Ethanol → Ethanoic acid                             ↓            soduimethanoate.  when Soduim hydroxide solution  reacts with Ethylethanoate ,Sodium  Ethanoate and other products are obtained  Give the name of the other products

(1) The funtional group is OH    (2) CH_3 COOC_2 H_5 +NaOH→CH_3 COONa+C_2 H_5 OH+ heat  The other product is ethanol
