Answer:
Ethanol on heating with concentrated sulphuric acid H2SO4 at 170 degree C loses a water molecule giving ethene.
CH3CH2OH + 2 Na-----conc H2SO4-------CH2=CH2+H2O
Unsaturated hydrocarbons adds hydrogen in presence of catalysts to foem saturated hydrocarbon
Thus ,Ethene adds a molecule of hydrogen to form ethane
CH2=CH2+H2 ----ni catalysts-----CH3-CH3
