1.	Write the name and molecular formula of an organic compound having its name suffixed with 'ol' and having two carbon atoms in its molecule. Write balanced chemical equation to indicate what happens when this compound is heated with excess conc. H_(2)SO_(4) and the name of main product formed. Also state the role of conc. H_(2)SO_(4) in the reaction.
Answer» SOLUTION :Ethanol, `C_(2)H_(5)OH` `C_(2)H_(5)Oh overset("Conc."H_(2)SO_(4))to underset"ETHENE"(CH_(2))=CH_(2)+H_(2)O` Role of conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`-It ACT as a dehydrating AGENT.
