To yield an alcohol from an alkane, one reaction could be from alkyl halide through hydrolysis reaction. The alkyl halide should be pentyl chloride. When you add water to it, the OH⁻ ion will replace Cl to make 1-pentanol, while the Cl⁻ ion binds with H⁺ to form HCl. The main product is pentanol, while the by-product is HCl.
It is called a polyatomic ion.
Hope this helps!!!
The illustration would be that of a double replacement reaction.
<h3>What are double replacement reactions?</h3>
They are reactions in which 2 ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products.
Thus, in the reaction: ab + cd ----------> ad + cb
ab and cd are two ionic compounds. The b in ab is replaced by the d in cd while the d in cd itself is replaced by the b in ab. Hence, new products, ad and cd, are formed.
