TESTS FOR ETHANOL:
* When ethanol is added to acetic acid(CH3COOH), a characteristic pleasant odour of ethyl acetate/ethyl ethanoate can be smelled. This reaction is also called ESTERIFICATION. This reaction proves to be a test for ethanol/ethyl alcohol as well as can be used to add odour/flavour to substances like soap.
*When sodium crystals are added to ehtanol, sodium ethoxide is formed and a brisk effervescence(bubbling) of hydrogen gas is evolved (which can be tested by bringing a glowing splinter which dies out)
