Best answer

The chemical reaction equation for the product produced by propylene glycol is:

1. Propylene glycol reacts with dibasic acid to produce polyester. The chemical reaction equation is:

nCH₂OHCH₂OH+nCOOH→(CH₂OHCH₂OOC)n+nH₂O.

2. Propylene glycol reacts with nitric acid to form the product nitrate. The chemical reaction equation is: CH₂OHCH₂OH+HNO₃→CH₂OHCH₂ONO₂+H₂O.

3. The reaction between propylene glycol and hydrochloric acid produces the product chlorohydrin. The chemical reaction equation is: CH₂OHCH₂OH+HCl→CHClOHCH₃+H₂O.

4. Propylene glycol and dilute sulfuric acid are heated at 170 degrees Celsius and converted into Acetaldehyde. The chemical reaction equation is: CH₂OHCH₂OH+O₂→2CH₃CHO+2H₂O.

5. Propylene glycol reacts with aldehydes to form acetal. The chemical reaction equation is: CH₂OHCH₂OH+RCHO→RCH(OH)CH₂OH.

6. Propylene glycol is dehydrated to produce propylene oxide or polyethylene glycol. The chemical reaction equation is: CH₂OHCH₂OH→CH₃CHO+HCOOH.
