Solution

The correct option is C all of these
Alcohol heated in the presence of conc. H2SO4 results in the formation of ether by removal of one mole of water as:
ROHH2SO4ROR
Thus an equimolar quantities of ethanol and propanol is heated with conc. H2SO4 will be:
C2H5OH+C3H7OHH2SO4C2H5OC2H5+C3H7OC3H7+C2H5OC3H7
The product formed are C2H5OC2H5,C3H7OC3H7,C2H5OC3H7
