### Reaction: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration of an Alkene

This chemical reaction illustrates the acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene.

**Reactant:**
- The structure on the left represents an alkene in a cyclohexane ring with a double bond on one of the carbon atoms.

**Reagent and Condition:**
- Water (H₂O) is used as the reagent.
- Catalytic hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) is employed to facilitate the reaction.

**Product:**
- The structure on the right is an alcohol, where the double bond has been converted to a single bond and an OH (hydroxyl) group is added to the carbon atom, resulting in an alcohol group on the cyclohexane ring.

This transformation is a classic example of Markovnikov's rule, where the OH group is added to the more substituted carbon of the alkene, leading to the formation of a secondary or tertiary alcohol.
