ETHYL, in chemistry, the name given to the alkyl radical CjHj. The compounds containing this radical are treated under other headings; the hydride is better known as ethane, the alcohol, CjHsOH, is the ordinary alcohol of commerce, and the oxide (CjH6)jO is or ...

ETHYL CHLORIDE, or HYDROCHLORIC ETHER, C2H,C1, a chemical compound prepared by passing dry hydrochloric acid gas into absolute alcohol. It is a colourless liquid with a sweetish burning taste and an agreeable odour. It is extremely volatile, boiling at 12-5° C ...

ETHYLENE, or ETHENE, C2H<, or H2C:CH3, the first representative of the series of olefine hydrocarbons, is found in coal gas. It is usually prepared by healing a mixture of ethyl alcohol and sulphuric acid. G. S. Newth (Jour. Chem. Soc., 1901, 79, p. 915) obtai ...
