(a) Ethene from ethanol

C2H5OH ethyl alcohol170°CConc. H2SO4[excess]C2H4ethene+H2O\underset{\text{ ethyl alcohol}}{\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{OH}} \xrightarrow[170\degree\text{C}]{\text{Conc. H}2\text{SO}4\text{[excess]}} \underset{ \text{ethene}}{\text{C}2\text{H}4} + \text{H}_2\text{O}\

(b) Ethyne from calcium carbide
