The dehydration of ethanol to give ethene not ethane. Ethanol is heated with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid (act as a catalyst) at a temperature of 170C. The gases produced are passed through sodium hydroxide solution to remove the carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide produced from side reactions.
