If one industrial synthesis , ethene is first dissolved in `95%` sulphuric acid. In a second step water is added and the mixture is heated. The product is

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OCH_(2)CH_(3)`

C

`CH_(3)CHO`

D

`CH_(3)CO_(2)H`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`CH_(2) = CH_(2) overset(95%H_(2)SO_(4))rarr underset("Ethyl hydrogen sulphate")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OSO_(3)H) underset("heat")overset(H_(2)O) rarr underset("Ethyl alcohol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)OH + H_(2)SO_(4))`
