Aldehyde in Sulfuric Acid

[Soaring Crane]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I'm just checking over the equation/reaction for butyraldehyde's solubility in H2SO4.

2. Relevant equations

See below.

3. The attempt at a solution

Will it be

CH3CH2CH2C(=O)H + H2SO4 --> HSO4- +
_________(+)
__________O-H
-----------||
CH3CH2CH2C-H

?

Thanks.

Ch3ch2ch=ch + H2so4 ---> Ch3ch2ch=ch + H2O

oop! sorry!
I gotta find out how to use that Latex thingy. I think it's a de-hydrogenation reaction.

CH3CH2CH2CHO +H2SO4 --> CH3CH2CH=CH + H2O
