Answer:
compound is ethanol
Explanation:
when excess of alcohol is heated with conc. sulphuric acid at 140°C, it forms diethyl ether on account of partial dehydration.
2C2H5OH---conc.H2SO4(ecxess)--->C2H5-O-C2H5+H2O
When excess of conc. sulphuric acid is heated with ethyl alcohol at 170°C, the alcohol is dehydrated to ethylene gas.
C2H5OH----conc.H2SO4(excess)----->C2H4+H2O
