(a)
Interpretation:
The alcohol in the given pair that undergoes an elimination reaction more rapidly when heated with
Concept introduction:
Dehydration reaction:
Removal of water molecule from the alcohol in the presence of strong acid like sulfuric acid is known as dehydration reaction.
Carbocation: It is carbon ion that bears a positive charge on it.
The increasing stability order of carbocation is as follows,
Primary carbocation < secondary carbocation < tertiary carbocation
