Why does ethanol give different products with concentrated sulfuric acid under different conditions?

at 180 degree centigrate the sulphuric acid dissociates and we get nucleophile which under go beta elimination reaction with ethanol and we get ethene as a product while at 140 degree centigrate acid not dissociate and acid act as dehydrating agent and water is removed from two molecules of ethanol and we get diethyl ether as product.

Is concentrated sulfuric acid flammable?
is concentrated sulphuric acid toxic
Why is Concentrated sulfuric acid a weaker acid compared to dilute sulfuric acid?
Concentrated sulfuric acid has sulfuric acid molecules where dilute sulfuric acid has sulfate ions and hydrogen ions. Water in the diluted solution acts as the ionization medium.
How much water is in sulfuric acid?
In concentrated sulfuric acid usually about 1%
How do you form oleum from sulfuric acid?
Dissolve excess Sulfur trioxide in concentrated Sulfuric acid
How do you make concentrated sulfuric acid from dilute sulfuric acid?
You need to remove the water by evaporation.
Is concentrated sulfuric acid a liquid?
Yes, concentrated sulfuric acid is a liquid.

Is dilute sulfuric acid a stronger acid compared to concentrated sulfuric acid?
No, although "concentrated" sulfuric acid (essentially pure H2SO4) is less dissociated than dilute sulfuric acid, simply because there's no water around for it to dissociate in.

Which gives carbon with concentrated sulfuric acid?
sucrose
What are three different products sulfuric acid is linked to?
Nickel, copper, zinc
What is the traditional name for concentrated fuming sulfuric acid?
oleum
What is an example of concentrated acid?
Example: sulfuric acid fumans.
Is sulfuric acid a nonelectroylte?
Dilute solutions of sulfuric acid conducts electricity because there are free ions, although concentrated sulfuric acid don't.
