how does ethephon generate ethylene?

Question

This is used in a plant physiology lab to study abscission if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

Thru the hyperdeminsional cell structure of the base fiber lead in that causes the hermitcis percillium to react in an osmosis retention and propolsion effect which dilutes the potended ethylene compond saturation, and therefore transforms the base ethephon into active ingredient ethylene.

Good question,

Answer 2

Well, from the structure of the compound ethephon, the plant is most likely eliminating the chlorine through either an elimination reaction or some sort of radical initiated cleavage (from sunlight). The result is the production of a chloride radical or ion which hooks up with sodium and is transported through the cell wall in water. The resulting unstable molecule then degrades to the more stable ethylene gas by further elimination of Phosphoric acid, H3PO4 (or Sodium Phosphate under basic conditions)
