Diethyl ether is synthesized by heating ethanol with sulfuric acid at 130 degrees C to 140 degrees C. Only at higher temperatures does ethene become a significant product. Why does a strong acid such as H2SO4 yield the ether in this situation?

Sulfuric acid is a very strong acid that can act as an oxidizing agent at high concentrations (very low pH, or even negative pH values). Under standard conditions, sulfuric acid has a low reduction potential, SO42−(aq)+4H+(aq)+2e−⇌SO2(g)+2H2O(l),   +0.20 V which means it cannot oxidize any of the halides F2, Cl2, Br2, or I2. If the H+ ion concentration is increased, however, the driving force for the sulfuric acid reduction is also increased according to Le Châtelier's principle. Sulfuric acid cannot oxidize the...

Explain why (S)-2-butanol forms a racemic mixture when it is heated in sulfuric acid. a) When (S)-2-butanol loses water, the asymmetric center in the reactant becomes a planar sp2 carbon. Therefore, the chirality is lost. When sulfuric acid attacks the carbocation, it can attack from either side of the planar carbocation, forming [(R)-2-butan-2-yloxy]sulfonic acid and [(S)-2-butan-2-yloxy]sulfonic acid with equal ease. Which are hydrolysed to form racemic mixture. b) When (S)-2-butanol loses water, the asymmetric center in the reactant becomes a...

A mixture of sodium carbonate and other inert compounds was heated to a high temperature and the sodium carbonate decomposed to give sodium oxide and carbon dioxide. Na2CO3(s) reaction arrow identifying the presence of heat Na2O(s) + CO2(g) A 3.0805-g sample of this mixture resulted in 2.4830 g of material after being heated at a high temperature. What was the mass percent (% w/w) of sodium carbonate in the original sample?
