If ethene is a reactant, then the product will be
Correct answer: C. Ethanol
- A. Triol
- B. Butanol
- C. Ethanol
- D. Propanol
Explanation
When ethene undergoes hydration, it forms ethanol, a two-carbon alcohol. The addition of one water molecule across the double bond in ethene results in the formation of ethanol. Therefore, the correct product is ethanol. The other options, triol, butanol, and propanol, are incorrect because they do not match the product formed from the reaction of ethene.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
