Ethanol is heated with excess concentrated HX2SOX4 at 443 K. The main organic product is
Aethene
Bdiethyl ether
Cethanal
Dethane
Answer: A
Concentrated HX2SOX4 in excess at 443 K dehydrates ethanol by elimination of water (via ethyl hydrogen sulphate), giving ethene. Diethyl ether forms with excess alcohol at about 413 K, not at 443 K.
