12

The pKa of CH3CH2CH2OH is
than that of
CH;CH2CH2SH.
Question 4
Oxidation of ethanol by chromic acid produces ethanoic acid,
which is commonly known as acetic acid. In the course of the
reaction, ethanol is first converted to acetaldehyde. Then,
hydration of acetaldehyde produces "X", which bears two
hydroxyl groups. “X" reacts with the chromic acid in the
presence of an acid catalyst to form “Y". A base reacts with "Y"
to produce acetic acid. Identify “X" and “Y".
X is propanal hydrate, and Y is ethyl chromate ester.
X is formaldehyde hydrate, and Y is ethyl chromate ester.
X is acetaldehyde hydrate, and Y is propyl chromate ester.
X is acetaldehyde hydrate, and Y is ethyl chromate ester.
