Which outcome arises when a molecular sieve dehydrates ethanol?

A)Ethene production increases excessively
B)Extended cyclic ether oligomerization
C)Increased carbon dioxide generation
D)Slower ester hydrolysis proceeds solely

💡 Explanation

Ethene production increases during molecular sieve dehydration because *acid catalysis* eliminates water from ethanol, therefore favoring ethene formation, rather than other products due to selective pore sizes affecting transition state stabilization.
