MCQ
Ethyl alcohol is industrially prepared from ethylene by
  • A
    Permanganate oxidation
  • B
    Catalytic reduction
  • Absorbing in ${H_2}S{O_4}$ followed by hydrolysis
  • D
    Fermentation

Answer

Correct option: C.
Absorbing in ${H_2}S{O_4}$ followed by hydrolysis
c
(c)$C{H_2} = C{H_2}\xrightarrow{{{H_2}S{O_4}}}C{H_3} - C{H_2} - HS{O_4}\xrightarrow{{{\text{Hydrolysis}}}}$     $C{H_3}C{H_2} - OH + {H_2}S{O_4}$
