Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

In the acid-catalysed dehydration of alcohol to alkene, reactive intermediate is carbocation.

(i)$\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2-\stackrel{\stackrel{-}{.\mathrm{ }.}}{\underset{.\mathrm{ }.}{\mathrm{O}}}\mathrm{H}+{\mathrm{H}}^{+}\to \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3-\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2-\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{O}}{\mathrm{H}}_2$

(ii)${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-{\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}-\stackrel{\text{+}}{\text{O}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\to \underset{\left(\text{Carbocation}\right)}{{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}-\stackrel{\text{+}}{\text{C}}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{+}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$

(iii)$\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_3+\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{H}}_2\to \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2=\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_2+{\mathrm{H}}^{+}$
