organic chemistry - What would be the correct mechanism for hydration of ethene?


Mechanism of ethene hydration


Given above is the mechanism that I drew but my textbook puts it a bit differently. It says that the ethene is dissovled in the concentrated HX2SOX4 to form ethyl hydrogen sulphate CHX3−CHX2OSOX3H which when diluted with water reacts to form ethanol and the acid CHX3CHX2OSOX3H+H−OH⟶CHX3CHX2OH+HX2SOX4 So which mechanism is true?
