Answer:

Answer Expert Verified. This reaction is a dehydration reaction which turns CH3CH2OH (ethanol) into C2H4 (ethene). The H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) which is added as concentrated sulphuric acid, is a catalyst. The acidic environment enables the -OH group to be more easily removed from the ethanol for it to form ethene.
