MCQ
Ether is obtained from ethyl alcohol in presence of H2​SO4​ at?
  • A
    113K
  • B
    443K
  • C
    413K
  • D
    213K

Answer

  1. 413K

Explanaition:

Acid-catalyzed method of preparing symmetrical ethers from primary alcohols is temperature dependence. At 110°413KC or 383K to 130∘C or 403K, a SN​reaction of the alcohol conjugate acid leads to an ether product. At higher temperatures (over 150°C or 423K) an E2 elimination takes place and instead of ether, an alkene is obtained.

Thus, Ether is obtained from ethyl alcohol in presence of H2​SO4​ at 413K.
