AI Generated Solution

When chlorine is passed through ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), the following reaction occurs: 1. Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) reacts with chlorine (Cl2). 2. The product formed is acetaldehyde (C2H4O) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O} + \text{HCl} \] ...
