See explanation
Explanation:
In this case, we have to remember that if we want to remove water from the reaction vessel we have to heat the vessel. So, we can convert the liquid water into <u>gas water</u> and we can remove it from the vessel. In this case, the products of dehydration for both molecules are <u>(E)-4-methylpent-2-ene</u> and <u>cyclohexene</u> with boiling points of <u>59.2 ºC</u> and <u>89 ºC</u> respectively. The boiling point of water is <u>100 ºC</u>, therefore if we heat the vessel the products and water would leave the system, and the products would be lost.
