Answer:
Dehydration can be intermolecular (when the HOH group separates from the same molecule of alcohol with the formation of a compound with a double bond–an alkene), and intramolecular (when a water molecule separates from different alcohol molecules, simple ether forms).

Answer:
When concentrated H2SO4 is added to ethanol nd heated , two forms of product can be obtained from the dehydration of it
- Ethoxyethane - at temperature 140°C
- Ethene - at temperarure 170°C
Explanation:
Therefore ,
- When ether is at 140°C, it is know as intermolecular dehydration .Reason - two molecules of ethanol reacts with concentrated H2SO4 to yield a molecule of ethaoxyethane with the removal of H2O
- When ethene is obtained at 170°C , it is known as intramolecular dehydration .
