Explanation:
x is ethanol .
it's chemical formula is C2H5OH.
when ethanol reacts with sodium hydrogen gas is evolved.
presence of hydrogen gas is tested by taking a candle near hydrogen gas so that it extinguishes with pop sound.
2Na+2CH3CH2OH-----2CH3CH2O Na +H2
when x and y reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid :
CH3 CH2OH-----------–----CH2=CH2+H2O
The concentrated sulphuric acid can be regarded as a dehydrating agent which removes water from ethanol
