Ethylene can be converted into alcohol by treatment of

A

A KOHA\,KOH

B

H2SO4H_2SO_4 as catalyst

C

Moist silver oxide

D

Zn/HClZn/HCl

Answer

H2SO4H_2SO_4 as catalyst

Explanation

Solution

CH2=CH2Ethylene→dil.H2SO4CH3−CH2.HSO4\underset{\text{Ethylene}}{CH_2 = CH_2} \xrightarrow{dil. H_2SO_4} CH_3 - CH_2.HSO_4
→warmH2OCH3CH2OHEthanol\xrightarrow[\text{warm}]{H_2O} \underset{\text{Ethanol}}{CH_3CH_2OH}
