Dear experts what happens when Ethane is treated with dilute sulphuric acid at 353 Kelvin give its mechanism

Dear Student,

The question you have asked is incorrect as alkanes donot react with sulphuric acid. Alkenes or alcohols react with sulphuric acid, so it should be ethene or ethanol instead of ethane. Ethene reacts with dil. H2SO4 to give alcohols. Ethanol on the other hand gives ethene or ether depending upon temperature. Kindly recheck your question and come back to us again so that we can provide you with meaningful help.

Regards,
