Explanation
Primary alcohol dehydrates through the E_2 mechanism
Oxygen donates two electrons to a proton from sulfuric acid H_2SO_4,
forming an alkyloxonium ion.
Then the nucleophile H_2SO_4 back-side attacks one adjacent hydrogen and the alkyloxonium ion leaves in a concerted process, making a double bond.
