We can convert ethanol into ethene by dehydration . Removal of water molecule from an alcohol is known as dehydration. When ethanol is heated with excess of con.H2SO4 at 170oC (443 K), it get dehydrated to form ethene. It can be expressed as follows;

CH3 - CH2 - OH -----con.H2SO4/ 443 K----> CH2 = CH2 + H2O
​ethanol                          dehydration                   ethene         water
i hope it will helps u :)
