The correct answer is:
\(\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{CH}_2\)
If ethyl alcohol is dehydrolysed by conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at \(443^{\circ} \mathrm{K}\), then ethylene is formed.
\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH} \xrightarrow[-\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}]{\text { conc. } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\)
\(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_5 \mathrm{OH} \xrightarrow[-\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}]{\text { conc. } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4} \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_4\)
