ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 Kelvin

Answer 1

The reaction is as follows-

CH3CH2OH —H2SO4 —> C2H4 + H2O

Answer 2

Hey


When Ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at 443 K , then " dehydration " reaction takes place to form " ethene and water " .


The reaction is :-


C2H5OH + H2SO4 ---> C2H4 + H2O

Here , Sulphuric acid us used as a catalyst .


thanks :)
