What would the equation be for the dehydration of ethanol
{"Image DocumentName": "What would the equation be for the dehydration of ethanol?", "Image ImageDescription": "G.3.1 Describe, using equations, the dehydration reactions of alcohols with phosphoric acid to form alkenes. What would the equation be for the dehydration of ethanol? A: C2H5OH \u2192 C2H4 + H2O. What would be needed to protonate the hydroxyl group? Is it a catalyst or part of the products? A: Strong acid, preferably phosphoric (V) acid, H3PO4. It is a catalyst, since a proton is donated back to regenerate the acid.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
