    A)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{O}{\mathop{\overset{||}{\mathop{C}}\,}}\,-O{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]            

    B)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

    C)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]    

    D)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Ethyl alcohol on dehydration with conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] at 170°C gives ethylene.                                 \[\underset{\text{Ethyl alcohol}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\underset{\text{conc}\text{. }{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{170{}^\circ C}}}\,\underset{\text{Ethylene}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}=C{{H}_{2}}}}\,+{{H}_{2}}O\]
