Solution
The correct option is C The reaction of ethylene with H2SO4 at 80oC The reaction of ethylene with H2SO4 at 80oC gives ethyl hydrogensulphate. CH2=CH2+H2SO4→CH3CH2OSO2OH Water gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) at high temperature gives methanol. CO+2H2→CH3OH. Alkaline hydrolysis of methyl bromide gives methanol CH3Br+H2O→CH3OH+HBr
