Answer 2

Ethene is formed when ethyl alcohol is heated with excess of conc.$H_{2}SO_{4}$ at 160°C

Explanation:

• Concentrated $H_{2}SO_{4}$ acts as the dehydrating agent which removes water from ethyl.
• Dehydration is the process of removal of $H_{2}O$ molecule.
• Ethyl alcohol is the $CH_{3} - CH_{2}-OH$
• After the removal of the water molecule,
• $\begin{equation}\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH} \stackrel{\mathrm{Conc.} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} / 160^{\circ} \mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{2}=\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\end{equation}$
• Ethyl alcohol is used for alcoholic beverages of wine,beer and liquor.
• IUPAC name of Ethene is Ethylene is a hydrocarbon which is a colorless gas which is flammable.
• It is mostly used in the chemical industry.
