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
a. mass of iron = 69.92 g
b. percent yield = 93%
<h3>Further eplanation </h3>Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated
General formula:
Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%
An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients
