Question

What is the product of the following reaction?

\[\ce{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - OH ->[conc. H2SO4][\Delta]}\]

विकल्प

• ethene

• propene

• but-1-ene

• but-2-ene

Answer 1

propene

Explanation:

When heated in the presence of conc sulfuric acid, n-propyl alcohol dehydrates and produces propene.

\[\ce{\underset{{n}-Propyl alcohol}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - OH} ->[conc. H2SO4][\Delta] \underset{Propene}{CH3 - CH = CH2} + H2O}\]
