x is ethyl alcohol
y is ethene
z is hydrogen gas
sulphuric acid is act as a dehydrator
C2H5OH -----> CH2=CH2
C2H5OH +Na ----> C2H5ONa + H2
y is ethene
z is hydrogen gas
sulphuric acid is act as a dehydrator
C2H5OH -----> CH2=CH2
C2H5OH +Na ----> C2H5ONa + H2

X=ethanol (C2H5OH)
Y=ethene(C2H4)
Z=H2 GAS
C2H5OH --------- C2H4+H20
C2H4OH+Na --------c2h5oNa + H2
Y=ethene(C2H4)
Z=H2 GAS
C2H5OH --------- C2H4+H20
C2H4OH+Na --------c2h5oNa + H2
