Answer:
2-Propanol gives Propene when reacted with sulphuric acid.
Explanation:
CH3-CH(OH)-CH3 + H2SO4 → CH2=CH-CH3 + H2O
CH3-CH(OH)-CH3 = 2-Propanol
CH2=CH-CH3 = Propene
Sulphuric acid (H2SO4) acts as a dehydrating agent in this reaction.

Answer:
Propan-2-ol can be dehydrated to give propene by heating it with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at about 170°C.
CH3-CH-CH3 conc.H2so4

OH
Explanation:
-OH group is lost, together with a hydrogen from a next-door carbon - it doesn't matter which one. If you chose the other one, you would get CH3CH=CH2. That's the same molecule flipped over.
