The product of CH3-CH2-CH2-OH (which is 1-propanol) in the presence of H2SO4 (sulfuric acid) is typically an alkene. The reaction is an acid-catalyzed dehydration reaction, where water is removed from the alcohol molecule to form the alkene.

In this case, 1-propanol (CH3-CH2-CH2-OH) can undergo dehydration to form propene (CH2=CH-CH3) in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The reaction can be represented as follows:

CH3-CH2-CH2-OH (1-propanol) + H2SO4 → CH2=CH-CH3 (propene) + H2O

Please note that this reaction may not be the only possible reaction, as there could be side reactions or other factors that might influence the outcome. Additionally, the reaction conditions and the concentration of the reagents may affect the reaction outcome.
