    Ethyl alcohol is heated with cone. H2S04. The product formed is

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

    B)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}\]

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

    D)  \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

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