Name the hydrocarbon formed when ethanol is heated with conc. H₂SO₄ at 170^oC? What is this reaction known as?

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 10

Ethene (C₂H₄) is the hydrocarbon formed when ethanol is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) at 170^oC.

This reaction is known as dehydration as it involves the removal of a water molecule from ethanol.
