Question

A less stable carbocation can rearrange to a more stable carbocation by shift of a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, These rearrangements are called_____and_____shifts, respectively. Alcohols and ethers are both common products of_____. Dehydration of secondary and tertiary alcohols occurs via an______mechanism, while dehydration of primary alcohols follows an______mechanism. The functional group known as____contain a hydroxyl group (OH group) bonded to an sp^3 hybridized carbon atom Alcohols undergo dehydration in the presence of strong acids, such as sulfuric acid (H_2SO_4) or (T_3OH), to afford.______

Answer 1

Answer:hydride and alkyl shift

common product of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohols (ROH) can be thought of as derivatives of water in which one of the hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an alkyl group. If both of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by alkyl groups, we get an ether (ROR). These compounds are named by adding the word ether to the names of the alkyl groups.

The order of the ease of dehydration of alcohols is: tertiary > secondary > primary. Secondary and tertiary alcohols are best dehydrated by dilute sulfuric acid. By heating an alcohol with concentrated sulfuric acid at 453 K (180°C).
