Question

Natalite is:
A) Ether + petrol
 B) Alcohol + petrol
C) Alcohol + ether
D) Alcohol + \[\text{ KI}\] + $\text{ }{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}$

Answer 1

Hint: Natalite is a combination of two commonly used solvent in industries. The Natalite is a substitute of the fuel.it is the future of fuel in automobiles.

Complete step by step answer:
Ethers are the compounds having $-\text{O}-$ as the functional group. The general formula of the ethers is $\text{ R}-\text{O}-\text{R }$ where R may be an alkyl or aryl group.
Ethers are quite inert and stable compounds. They are the least reactive of the functional groups. Ethers are widely used as the solvent both in the laboratory as well as in the industry because of their almost inert nature and good dissolving power. Among these, diethyl ether is very common. The diethyl ether structure is as shown below,

The alcohols are the compounds containing the hydroxyl group $\text{ }(-\text{OH})\text{ }$ attached to the alkyl group. These are regarded as the hydroxyl derivatives of the hydrocarbon. The one of the common alcohols which are used as the solvent is ethanol. The structure of ethanol is as follows,

Diethyl has various applications. One of the very unique applications is Natalite.
Natalite is formed when the diethyl ether is mixed with alcohol.it is a combination of elements of diethyl ether and ethanol.
The most common use of Natalite (or ethanol and diethyl mixture) is it is a substitute for petrol.
The Natalite is a compound used as a fuel for internal combustible engines in the countries which are tropical.

Hence, (C) is the correct option.

Note: The diethyl ethers have various other applications. Some of the applications of the diethyl ether areas listed below:
1) It is an industrial solvent for oils, gums, fats, resins, etc.
2) It is used as the anaesthetic in surgery.
3) Extracting solvent in laboratory and industry.
4) It is also used as the refrigerant.
