An organic compound 'P' is a constituent of wine. 'P' on reacting with acidified `K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(7)` forms another compound 'Q'. When a piece of sodium is added to 'Q' a gas 'R' evolves which burns with a pop sound. Identify P, Q and R and write the chemical equations of the reactions involved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

P-Ethanol, Q-Ethanoic acid, R-Hydrogen
`CH_(2)CH_(2)OH overset("Acidified ")to K_(2)Cr_(2)O_(2) +CH_(3)COOH`
`2CH_(3)COOH+ 2Na rightarrow 2CH_(3)COONa+ H_(2)`
