Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
Answer:
4.22
Explanation:
pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes hydrogen.
pH helps to find the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.
The number of hydrogen ions (protons) present in a solution is determined by the pH scale.
A pH greater than 7 makes the water more alkaline and a pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic.
