Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product formed by the acid-catalyzed hydration of 3-methyl-1-butene is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Hydration of alkenes is one the method used for the formation of alcohol.

The general steps followed by the hydration reaction are stated below:

• First protonation of the alkene take place to generate the carbocation.

• Formation of protonated alcohol.

• Deprotonation.
