Ethanol undergoes dehydration when treated with Conc H2SO4.
Dehydration can occur in two ways
at 140 degree centigrade temperatures
At this temperature, two molecules of alcohol lose a water molecule and give Diethyle ether as product (C2H5-O-C2H5)
At 170 degree centrigrade temperatures
At this temperatures, each molecule of alcohol loses a water molecule and give ethene as a product (C2H4).
