Answer» 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

Answer»

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
