Vedclass · Answer

(B) The industrial preparation of ethylene oxide involves the reaction of ethylene with hypochlorous acid to form ethylene chlorohydrin,which is then treated with a base to yield ethylene oxide.$H_2C=CH_2 + HOCl 	o Cl-CH_2-CH_2-OH$ (Ethylene chlorohydrin)$Cl-CH_2-CH_2-OH + NaOH 	o C_2H_4O$ (Ethylene oxide) $+ NaCl + H_2O$Note: While ethylene glycol can be produced from ethylene oxide,the direct product of passing ethylene into hypochlorous acid followed by base treatment is ethylene oxide.

Which of the following is industrially prepared by passing ethylene into hypochlorous acid?
