A compound 'X' on heating with excess concentrated 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

According to the question,
X - ethanol
Y-Ethene
Z-hydrogen gas
The equations are :
1) C2H5OH - - - - - >C2H4 + H2O
2) C2H5OH +Na - - - - - >C2H5ONa +H2
Sulphuric acid acts as a dehydrating agent in the reaction.....

When alcohol (X), is catalysed by hot concentrated sulfuric acid, it produces ethene(Y)... This process is used for denaturing alcohol for unfit for drinking
When ethene is reacted with sodium produces colourless hydrogen gas (Z)
The use of sulphuric acid is to speed up the reaction or dehydrating agent a and make alcohol from unfit of drinking
