← ScienceWhich outcome arises when a molecular sieve dehydrates ethanol?
A)Ethene production increases excessively✓
B)Extended cyclic ether oligomerization
C)Increased carbon dioxide generation
D)Slower ester hydrolysis proceeds solely
💡 Explanation
Ethene production increases during molecular sieve dehydration because *acid catalysis* eliminates water from ethanol, therefore favoring ethene formation, rather than other products due to selective pore sizes affecting transition state stabilization.
