3. The reverse of the reaction you performed in the lab is also possible. Water can be added to alkenes in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid. There are two simple, well known alcohols that are produced commercially on a large scale by the acid catalyzed addition of water to the two simplest alkenes: ethylene (or ethene) and propylene (propene). Write the equation for the acid catalyzed addition of water to ethene and name the resultant alcohol. Consult your textbook.
