Question

what is ethanol state its two properties what happens when it is heated with excess of concentrated H2So4 at 443 Kelvin. what is the role of concentrated H2So4 in this reaction write the chemical equation of the reaction involved and the structural formula of the main product formed ​

Answer 1

Ethanol is a form of alcohol having two carbon molecules in its formula when it is heated in443k using concentrated h2so4 as a catalyst ,an unsaturated carbon compound named as ethene is formed with water and hat is why this reaction is also known as dehydration reaction.
