h) What is ethanol? What happens when it is heated with excess conc. H2SO4 at 443K?
Write the role of conc. H2SO4,in this reaction.

Answer 1

oxidation reaction is given in text page no. 71 top

addition reaction is also given below and below that is substitution reaction

(h) Ethanol is an alcohol which is the active ingredient of all alcoholic drinks

When ethanol is heated with excess H2SO4 at 443K it dehydrates to form ethene

sulphuric acid is the dehydrating agent which removes water from ethanol
