Ethanol is heated at 443 k in presence of excess of concentrated sulphuric acid to obtain ethene. This reaction can be given by following equation: CH3CH2OHconc. H2SO4 CH2=CH2+H2O.

hi good afternoon are you an ARMY? I am too.
Explanation:
Ethanol can be dehydrated to give ethene by heating it with an excess of concerntrared sulphuric acid at about 170°C. Concerntrared phosphoric (V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead. The acids aren't written into equation because they serve as catalysts.
