Answered by mindfulmaisel

when propanol is heated in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid then the products which are formed are propene and water.

Explanation:

Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent. When it is heated with an alcohol then the hydroxyl group is removed from one carbon and an Alpha hydrogen is removed from the other carbon.
As a result a double bond is formed resulting in the formation of propene.
Here the alcohol acts as a dehydrating agent and hence water is formed from the reaction as a product.
This reaction is possible only in acidic medium in the presence of heat.
