(a) By the dehydration of ethanol in the presence of concentrated `H_(2)SO_(4)`.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH underset("Heat")overset("Conc. "H_(2)SO_(4)) to CH_(2)=CH_(2)+H_(2)O`
(b) By the oxidation of propanol using oxidising agent such as alkaline `KMnO_(4)`.
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH underset("Heat") overset("Alk. "KMnO_(4)) to CH_(3)CH_(2)COOH+H_(2)O`
