### Question 9Which one of the following alcohols would dehydrate most rapidly when treated with sulfuric acid? Provide a brief explanation for the answer you choose.#### Structures:- **I**: A carbon chain with an alcohol group (OH) attached to the second carbon from the right.- **II**: A carbon chain with an alcohol group attached to the first carbon on the left, which is branched with an additional methyl group.- **III**: A carbon chain with an alcohol group attached to the second carbon from the left, which is branched.- **IV**: A carbon chain with an alcohol group attached to the second carbon from the right.- **V**: A carbon chain with an alcohol group attached to the first carbon on the right, which is branched with an additional methyl group.#### Answer Choices:a. I b. II c. III d. IV e. V Reflect on the structure and stability of the carbocations formed during dehydration to determine which alcohol will dehydrate most rapidly.

Stability of carbocations, Tertiary > Secondary > Primary A tertiary carbocation is…
