Explanation of Solution
The structural formula of 1-butene and 2-butene is as follows:
The hydration reaction takes place when water is added to an organic compound. The reaction mainly takes place with unsaturated compounds like
The hydration reaction of 1-butene and 2-butene is represented as follows:
Due to the possibility of 2 carbocation formation there are two possible hydration products. In case of 2-butene identical products are formed thus, there is 1 product that is 2-butanol is possible. In case of 1-butene there are two different products possible namely 2-butanol and 1-butanol.
