Vedclass · Answer

(D) The intermolecular dehydration of alcohols in the presence of concentrated $H_2SO_4$ at $413 \ K$ leads to the formation of ethers.When a mixture of methanol $(CH_3OH)$ and ethanol $(C_2H_5OH)$ is used,all possible combinations of symmetric and asymmetric ethers are formed:$1. \ CH_3OH + CH_3OH \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} CH_3OCH_3 + H_2O$$2. \ C_2H_5OH + C_2H_5OH \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} C_2H_5OC_2H_5 + H_2O$$3. \ CH_3OH + C_2H_5OH \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4} CH_3OC_2H_5 + H_2O$Thus,the resulting mixture contains $CH_3OC_2H_5$,$CH_3OCH_3$,and $C_2H_5OC_2H_5$.
