Answer:
Ethene is formed \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}OH\xrightarrow[443K]{Conc.{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\mathrm{ }+\Delta }{{H}_{2}}C=C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}O\] Conc. \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] acts as a dehydrating agent. If hydrogen is added to the product in presence of a catalyst, ethane is formed. \[{{H}_{2}}C=C{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow{Ni/Pt}{{H}_{3}}C-C{{H}_{3}}\]
