Solution

Answer - Dehydration

The conversion of ethanol into ethene is an example of dehydration.

$C_{2} H_{5} O H C o n c . H_{2} S O_{4} - ------- \to C H_{2} = C H_{2} + H_{2} O$

The conversion of ethanol into ethene is a dehydration reaction because, in this reaction, a water molecule is removed by using a dehydrating agent (Conc $H_{2} S O_{4}$ ).
