Ethanol is a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C ₂H ₅OH. Its formula can be also written as CH ₃−CH ₂−OH or C ₂H ₅−OH, and is often abbreviated as EtOH. Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a slight characteristic odor.
When ethanol is heated with an excess of concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K, it results in the dehydration of ethanol to give ethene. The concentrated sulphuric acid can be regarded as a dehydrating agent which removes water from ethanol.
