C\(_2\)H\(_5\)OH(aq) → Y
If the above reaction takes place in conc. H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) at 180\(^0\)C, Y represents

  • CH4
  • C2H5COOH
  • C2H4 checkmark
  • CH3OCH3

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

Dehydration of ethanol is the process of removing water from ethanol to produce ethene, CH\(_2\)=CH\(_2\). This process can be achieved by heating ethanol with concentrated sulfuric acid H\(_2\)SO\(_4\)
