The chemical reactions shown above indicate the conversion of various organic compounds. Starting with nitrogen dioxide (C2H5NO2), it can be reduced to ethane (C2H6) or oxidized to release carbon dioxide (CO2). Ethane (C2H6) can also undergo dehydrogenation to form ethylene (C2H4) or hydration to form ethanol (C2H6O). Ethanol can further be oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2).
