A gas is evolved when ethanol reacts with sodium. Name the gas evolved and also write the balanced chemical equation of the reaction involved.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When ethanol reacts with sodium metal ,it forms sodium ethoxide `(C_(2)H_(5)O^(-)Na^(+))` and hydrogen gas is released .The reaction is as follows.
`2C_(2)H_(5)OH+2Nato2C_(2)H_(2)O^(-)Na^(+)+H_(2)uarr` So the gas is hydrogen gas that is evolved during the reaction.
