Is C2H3OH vinyl alcohol? H2C=CHOH or C2H3OH

@Robert S...you are indeed correct, but I'm not aware of the conversion to ethene, although I guess it's certainly possible. I'm familiar with ethanol conversion to ethene. Also, I was hasty to make this comment based on an error in a previous post by this individual. Thanks for the heads up.

Also, note that the question asks about using 10 g ETHANOL, not vinyl alcohol. But your point is correct, nonetheless.
