Addition reaction

The video explains how ethene reacts with water in the form of steam to produce ethanol. This process involves breaking the double bond in the ethene molecule, allowing it to combine with water. The resulting ethanol is synthetic and is commonly used in the production of paints.

What is the primary focus of the initial section regarding molecule formation?

• The breakdown of molecules

• The use of molecules in technology

• The formation of larger molecules

• The history of molecular science

What happens to the double bond in ethene during its reaction with water?

• It becomes a single bond

• It breaks apart

• It forms a triple bond

• It remains unchanged

What is the product formed when ethene reacts with water in the form of steam?

• Methanol

• Ethanol

• Propane

• Butane

What is synthetic ethanol primarily used for?

• Food preservation

• Manufacture of paints

• Fuel production

• Textile manufacturing

How is synthetic ethanol different from natural ethanol?

• It is less effective as a solvent

• It is used in different industries

• It has a different chemical structure

• It is produced from different raw materials
