We have to explain why the acid-catalyzed hydration of
Concept introduction:
The acid catalyzed hydration of an alkene involves the addition of proton to the double bonded carbon atom resulting in the formation of carbocation, bond formation between carbocation and the nucleophile, H2 O and the deprotonation to give alcohol.

Acid-catalyzed dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols proceeds through an E1 mechanism. The
first step is the protonation of the alcohol oxygen to form an oxonium ion.
Dehydration of 3-methyl-2-butanol forms one major and two minor organic products. Draw the structures,
