Answer:
mechanism for the acid catalysed dehydration of a simple primary alcohol like ethanol to give an alkene like ethene. Ethanol can be dehydrated to give ethene by heating it with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at about 170°C. Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead
