Ethanol (CH3CH₂OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water: 2CH3CH₂OH()→ CH3CH₂OCH₂CH3(1) + H₂O(g) In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water: CH3CH₂OH()→→ CH₂=CH₂(g) + H₂O(g) (a) If 50.4 g of ethanol yields 32.2 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether? % (b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?

Ethanol (CH3CH₂OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic
compounds. In concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol forms diethyl ether and water:
%
2CH3CH₂OH()→→ CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂(1) + H₂O(g)
In a side reaction, some ethanol forms ethylene and water:
Saved
CH3CH₂OH()→→ CH₂=CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)
(a) If 50.4 g of ethanol yields 32.2 g of diethyl ether, what is the percent yield of diethyl ether?
(b) During the process, 45.0% of the ethanol that did not produce diethyl ether reacts by the side
reaction. What mass of ethylene is produced?
