Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C 2 H 4 or H 2 C=CH 2.It is a colourless, flammable gas with a faint "sweet and musky" odour when pure. [7] It is the simplest alkene (a hydrocarbon with carbon–carbon double bonds).
Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol) is an organic compound (a vicinal diol [7]) with the formula (CH 2 OH) 2.It is mainly used for two purposes: as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations.
1,2-Dibromoethane, also known as ethylene dibromide (EDB), is an organobromine compound with the chemical formula C 2 H 4 Br 2.Although trace amounts occur naturally in the ocean, where it is probably formed by algae and kelp, substantial amounts are produced industrially.
In organic chemistry, an addition reaction is an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form a larger molecule called the adduct. [1] [2]An addition reaction is limited to chemical compounds that have multiple bonds.
Chlorobis(ethylene)rhodium dimer is an organorhodium compound with the formula Rh 2 Cl 2 (C 2 H 4) 4.It is a red-orange solid that is soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. The molecule consists of two bridging chloride ligands and four ethylene ligands.
CaO + Br 2 + HCO 2 H → CaBr 2 + H 2 O + CO 2. Solid calcium bromide adopts the rutile structure, featuring octahedral Ca 2+ centres bound to six bromide anions, which also bridge to other Ca 2+ centres. When strongly heated in air, calcium bromide reacts with oxygen to produce calcium oxide and bromine: 2 CaBr 2 + O 2 → 2 CaO + 2 Br 2
Chloroethane is produced by hydrochlorination of ethylene: [11]. C 2 H 4 + HCl → C 2 H 5 Cl. At various times in the past, chloroethane has also been produced from ethanol and hydrochloric acid, from ethane and chlorine, or from ethanol and phosphorus trichloride, but these routes are no longer economical.
