Answer:

C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at the reactant and the product we will realize that the reactant is an alcohol while the product is an alkene. The reaction involves acid catalysed elimination of water from an alcohol.

Water is a good leaving group, hence an important synthetic route to alkenes is the acid catalysed elimination of water from alcohols. Hence the conversion represented by C3H7OH → C3H6 + H20 is an elimination reaction in which water is the leaving group.
