Correct Answer: ethene


Solution : The correct answer is ethene.

Ethanol is dehydrated (water is removed) when heated with hot, concentrated sulphuric acid, producing ethene. The concentrated acid is recovered unaltered, serving only as a dehydrating agent. H2SO4 is used as a dehydrator during the ethanol-to-ethane conversion process.
