A compound 'X' on heating with excess conc. sulphuric acid at 443 K gives an
unsaturated compound 'Y'. X' also reacts with sodium metal to evolve a colourless
gas 'Z'. Identify 'X', 'Y' and 'Z'. Write the equation of the chemical reaction of
formation of Y' and also write the role of sulphuric acid in the reaction.

Answer:
X = Ethanol ( CH3CH2OH)
Y= Ethene (C2H4)
Z= Hydrogen Gas (H2)
Explanation:
When ETHANOL is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K, dehydration takes place and ETHENE is formed. In this reaction concentrated sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent or catalyst.
CH3CH2OH —> C2H4
Ethanol also reacts with Sodium to give Hydrogen gas.
CH3CH2OH + Na —> CH3CH2ONa + H2
