Ethene is formed when ethanol at 443 K is heated with excess of concentrated sulphuric acid. What is the role of sulphuric acid in this reaction? Write the balanced chemical equation of this reaction |
|
Answer» Sulphuric acid acts as a catalyst and a dehydrating agent in the formation of ethene at 443 K. \(CH_3CH_2OH\overset{Conc.H_2SO_4} \rightarrow CH_2=CH_2 +H_2O\) |
