MCQ
Ethyl alcohol exhibits acidic character on reacting with:
- AAcetic acid
- BSodium metal
- CHydrogen iodide
- DAcidic potassium dichromate.
✓
Answer
- Sodium metal
Explanation:
CH3CH2−OH + Na → CH3−CH2−O−Na+ + $ \frac{1}{2}$ H2
Acid reacts with metal to give hydrogen gas.
Hence, in above reaction CH3CH2OH behaves as an acid.
