![Title: Predict the Products of the Following Reaction
---
### Overview:
This page will guide you in predicting the products of the given chemical reactions. The reaction involves an initial hydrogenation step followed by an acid-catalyzed hydration.
---
### Reaction Details:
#### Step 1: Hydrogenation
**Reactant:**
\[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \]
**Conditions:**
\[ \mathrm{H}_2 / \text{Pt} \]
This step involves the hydrogenation of an alkyne compound in the presence of platinum (Pt) catalyst to form an alkane.
---
#### Step 2: Hydration
**Intermediate Product:**
\[ \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2 \]
**Conditions:**
\[ \text{H}_2\text{O} / \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \]
This step involves the hydration of an alkene using sulfuric acid to form an alcohol.
---
### Detailed Explanation:
**Step 1:**
The first step of the reaction is the hydrogenation of an alkyne in the presence of a Pt catalyst. During hydrogenation, hydrogen molecules (H_2) add across the triple bond of the alkyne, converting it into an alkane.
\[
\text{CH}_3 - \text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2/\text{Pt}} \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}=\text{CH}_2
\]
**Step 2:**
Following hydrogenation, the alkene undergoes hydration. In the next step, water (H_2O) and sulfuric acid (H_2SO_4) are used to add a hydroxyl group (-OH) to one of the carbons of the double bond, converting the alkene into an alcohol.
\[
\text{CH}_3 - \text{CH} = \text{CH}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{O}/\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{CH}_3 - \text{CH}(\text{OH}) - \text{CH}_3
\]
