Ethanol is converted intoethoxyethane
1 by heating excess of ethanol with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at \(140^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
2 by heating ethanol with excess of conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at 443 K
3 by treating with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at room temperature
4 by treating with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) at 273 K .

Explanation:
(a)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \underset{\text { Ethanol(excess) }}{\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH} \xrightarrow{\text { conc. } \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4}}{ }^{140^{\circ} \mathrm{C}} \\
& \qquad \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
\end{aligned}\)
