How would you convert ethanol to ethene? [AI 2011] |
|
Answer» Ethanol can be dehydrated to GIVE ethane by heating it with an excess of concentrated SULFURIC ACID at about 170°C. Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead. The acids aren't written into the equation because they SERVE as catalysts. |
