Respuesta :

The product formed will be ethanol (ethyl alcohol) when water is reacted with ethene in the presence of a catalytic amount of concentrated sulfuric acid

What is use of catalyst in a reaction?

A catalyst is a substance that, without being consumed by the reaction, speeds up a chemical reaction or reduces the temperature or pressure required to initiate one.

Ethyl alcohol is produced when ethene gas reacts with water through hydration. This ethyl alcohol undergoes dehydration to generate ethene once more when it interacts with sulfuric acid.

The reaction will be as follows:

CH_{2} = CH_{2} (l) + H_{2} O (l) → CH_{3} CH_{2} OH (aq)

CH_{3} CH_{2} OH → CH_{2} = CH_{2} + H_{2} O
