This is a series of reactions showing the conversion of ethane (C2H6) to diethyl ether (C2H5-O-C2H5) via ethylene (C2H4) and ethanol (C2H5OH).
Overall reaction: C2H6 -> C2H4 -> C2H5OH -> C2H5-O-C2H5
These reactions involve various chemical processes such as dehydrogenation, hydration, and etherification to convert ethane to diethyl ether.
