Explanation:-
Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.
As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.
The chemical reaction can be represented as :
The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.
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
