Compound : C2H5OH... Ethanol

OCCURRENCE : * ethanol is produced during metabolic process of yeast. it is naturally found in overripened fruits.

SYNTHESIS : ethanol is produced Chemically as well as biochemically.

# C2H4 + H2O - - - - > C2H5OH ( acid catalyzed hydration of ethene)

# C6H12O6 - - - - > 2 C2H5OH + 2CO2 ( fermentation process of yeast)

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES :

* volatile, flammable, colorless liquid

* characteristic odour.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES :

* polar in nature due to polar O-H bond.

* it is acidic to a slight extent and produces hydrogen on reacting with sodium.

* due to its ability to form hydrogen bonding with water, it is highly soluble in water.

USES & APPLICATION :

* used as solvent in manufacturing industries and perfumery.

* as solvent in labs, research.... A green solvent.

* as preservative for biological specimens.

* medicines, drugs.

* in disinfectants.
