  Epoxyethane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Epoxyethane is similar to ethene, with the exception that it does not have a double bond.
Each carbon atom is bonded with the central oxygen, and so the oxygen has two bonds with each carbon atom.
Epoxyethane is also known as ethylene oxide, which also illustrates its normal method of production.

 Epoxyethane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epoxyethane has a boiling point of 10 degrees Celsius, making it a gas at room temperature.
It is colourless, flammable, toxic, and affects the nervous system when inhaled.
A ten-fold molar excess of water is used to obtain ethane-1,2-diol, also known as ethylene glycol :

 epoxyethane (ethylene oxide)
This page looks at the manufacture of epoxyethane from ethene, and then at some of the products that are made from epoxyethane.
The reason that epoxyethane is so reactive is that bonding pairs in the ring of atoms in the molecule are forced very close together.
Epoxyethane reacts with water in the presence of an acid catalyst (very dilute sulphuric acid) at a temperature of about 60°C. Ethane-1,2-diol is produced.

 Epoxyethane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Epoxyethane is similar to ethene, with the exception that it doesnot have a double bond.
Instead, the double bond has been saturated such that each carbon atom now bonds to the same oxygen atom.The formula is C
Each carbon atom is bonded with the central oxygen, andso the oxygen has two bonds with each carbon atom.

 Epoxyethane - Home Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Epoxyethane is an organic compound which has many uses in the world of industrial chemistry and is also used in the synthesis of chemicals used in everyday life.
Despite being very useful it is also a very dangerous chemical to deal with due to its unusual structure and low stability.
There will be a small section describing how epoxyethane was discovered in the first place and the history of it.

 Epoxyethane - Temp   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I think it's something else, cos the teacher said the value in the txtbook [180C] ain't what AQA want for chemistry, but I forgot to write down the exact value.
Epoxy ethane reacts with 10x molar water at 60'C in presence od an acid catalyst to produce ethane-1,2-diol.
The 180'c recation u are talking about is the reaction of Epoxyethane with Alcohols whicj produces "monoalkylethers of ethane-1,2-diol"

 Discovery and History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Epoxyethane or as it's known by its chemical name, Ethylene Oxide was first synthesised by French Chemist Charles Wurtz in 1859.
He treated 2-chloroethanol with a base however in more recent times it is produced industrially by reacting ethane and oxygen.
The modern day uses for epoxythane include a bacteria killing gas and also in the production of anti-freeze.
