is known as
(A) Elimination
(B) Substitution
(C) Hydrogenation
(D) Hydration
Answers
Answer:
At 170°C ethanol can be dehydrated to give ethene by heating it with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid. This reaction is called hydration of ethane

The conversion of ethylene to ethyl alcohol is (D) Hydration
Explanation:
1.A hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne.
1.Ethanol can be converted to ethene by heating with concentrated H2SO4 with loss of water.
2.The three steps are:
a. Electrophilic attack on the hydronium ion takes place which pronates the ethene to form a carbocation.
b.In the second step, the carbocation is attacked by the water molecule. c.The deprotonation lastly generates the ethanol.
