Answer:

The intermediate is carbocation.

Explanation:

The reaction of alkene with an acid to give alcohol is an electrophilic addition reaction.

In electrophilic reaction, the alkene is being attacked by an alkene.

in case of aqueous acid reaction with alkene , the electrophile is [H⁺].

When the proton attacks the alkene it generates carbocation.

The carbocation generated is formed based on stability of carbocation.

The mechanism is shown in the figure.

When you first pull back on the pendulum, and when you pull it back really high the Potential Energy is high and the Kinetic Energy is low, But when up let go, and it gets right around the middle, that's when the Potential energy transfers to Kinetic, at that point the kinetic Energy is high and the potential Energy is low. But when it comes back up at the end. The same thing will happen, the Potential Energy is high, and the Kinetic Energy is low. Through all of that the Mechanical Energy stays the same.

I hope this helps. :)
