Best Answer

Alkenes react with concentrated sulphuric acid in the cold to produce alkyl hydrogensulphates. Ethene reacts to give ethyl hydrogensulphate.

CH2=CH2 + H2SO4 --> CH3CH2OSO2OH

The structure of the product molecule is sometimes written as CH3CH2HSO4, but the version in the equation is better because it shows how all the atoms are linked up. You may also find it written as CH3CH2OSO3H.

yes it does. because alkenes contain pi bonds, hence more likely to get attacked by the electrophile.
