Chapter 21, Problem 120AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The compound with the molar mass in between $50$ and $60$ g/mol that produces secondary alcohol as the major product with ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is to be named.

Concept introduction: The hydration of alkenes in the presence of catalytic amount of strong acids gives secondary alcohols as the major product followed by the Markovnikov rule and the name of any organic compound is determined by using empirical formula when the percent of each element is given in the compound.

To determine: The name of the compound with the molar mass in between $50$ and $60$ g/mol that produces secondary alcohol as the major product with ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.
