Verified by Experts

When `C_(2)H_(5)OH` (Ethanol) is treated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` at 430 K, intermolecular dehydration take place and the product formed will be diethyl ether `C_(2)H_(5) -O-C_(2)H_(5)`.
`underset("Ethanol")(2C_(2)H_(5)OH) + H_(2)SO_(4) overset(410 K) to C_(2)H_(5)O-underset("Diethylether")(C_(2)H_(5)) + H_(2)O`
