The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to identify the organic compounds A and B based on the information provided in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction with Sodium**: - The question states that compound A reacts with sodium to form compound B. - In organic chemistry, when an alcohol reacts with sodium, it forms an alkoxide. The general reaction can be represented as: \[ R-OH + Na \rightarrow R-O^-Na^+ \] - Here, R represents the alkyl group in the alcohol. 2. **Analyzing the Reaction with Concentrated H2SO4**: - The question also states that compound A, when heated with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), forms diethyl ether. - The formation of ether from alcohols can be represented as: \[ 2 R-OH \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} R-O-R + H_2O \] - Since we are specifically forming diethyl ether (C₂H₅-O-C₂H₅), we can deduce that compound A must be ethanol (C₂H₅OH). 3. **Identifying Compound A**: - Based on the above analysis, we conclude that compound A is ethanol (C₂H₅OH). 4. **Identifying Compound B**: - Since compound A (C₂H₅OH) reacts with sodium to form an alkoxide, we can now determine compound B. - The reaction of ethanol with sodium gives sodium ethoxide (C₂H₅O^-Na^+), which can be represented as: \[ C_2H_5OH + Na \rightarrow C_2H_5O^-Na^+ \] - Therefore, compound B is sodium ethoxide (C₂H₅ONa). 5. **Final Answer**: - Thus, the compounds A and B are: - Compound A: C₂H₅OH (Ethanol) - Compound B: C₂H₅ONa (Sodium ethoxide) ### Conclusion: The correct answer is: - Compound A: C₂H₅OH - Compound B: C₂H₅ONa
