Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14.35SP
(A true story.) An inexperienced graduate student moved into a laboratory and began work. He needed some diethyl ether for a reaction, so he opened an old, rusty 1-gallon can marked “ethyl ether” and found there was half a gallon left. To purify the ether, the student set up a distillation apparatus, started a careful distillation, and went to the stockroom for the other reagents he needed. While he was at the stockroom, the student heard a muffled “boom.” He quickly returned to his lab to find a worker from another laboratory putting out a fire. Most of the distillation apparatus was embedded in the ceiling.
- a. Explain what probably happened.
- b. Explain how this near-disaster might have been prevented.

TYPES OF REACTIONS ALCOHOL: Dehydration: This is a reaction where an alcohol loses a water molecule to form an alkene. For example, when ethanol is treated with an acidic catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, it undergoes dehydration to form ethene (CH2=CH2) and water. Oxidation: In this reaction, an alcohol is converted to either a carbonyl compound or a carboxylic acid. For example, primary alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes or carboxylic acids, while secondary alcohols can be oxidized to ketones. Tertiary alcohols are not oxidized under normal conditions. Esterification: This reaction involves the formation of an ester from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst. For example, when ethanol is…arrow_forwardChoose the best explanation for why these compounds are all less than fifteen carbons. A) Aldehydes with longer alkyl chains become increasingly nonpolar and the LDF are stronger than hydrogen bonding with ethanol. B) Ethanol molecules will hydrogen bond with the oxygen of the aldehydes. However, longer alkyl chains interrupt the ability of the aldehyde to hydrogen bond with ethanol which decreases the solubility. C) Ethanol molecules will form strong LDF interactions between the alkyl chains of the aldehydes and the alkyl groups of ethanol. The strong attractions cause the aldehydes to precipitate out of solution. D) When aldehydes chain length increases, the aldehydes have stronger intermolecular force with the small ethanol solvent molecules than the ethanol-ethanol intermolecular force.arrow_forward
