The
Concept Introduction:
When H2O is lost from a material it is called dehydration. When an alcohol is treated with a strong acid such as H2SO4, a water molecule is lost by breaking two adjacent bonds C-OH and C-H and forming a new double bond, producing an alkene. This is an elimination reaction.
In this reaction more than one type of alkene may produce. But one of them is the major product.
According to Zaitsev rule, the major product alkene formed by elimination, is that which possess more alkyl groups bonded to it
(b)
Interpretation:
The alkene formed when the given alcohol is treated with H2SO4 should be determined. The major product should be predicted using Zaitsev rule.

Procedure Part 1: Customizing a Periodic Table Use a textbook or other valid source to determine which elements are metals, nonmetals, metalloids (called semimetals in some texts), alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases. Download and print a copy of the Periodic Table of Elements. Use colored pencils, colorful highlighters, or computer drawing tools to devise a schematic for designating each of the following on the periodic table: Group numbers Period number Labels for these groups: alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, inner transition metals (lanthanides and actinides), other metals, metalloids (semimetals), other nonmetals, halogens, and noble gases Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids Note: Write the group and period numbers and color/highlight each element for categorization.
