Part 2: Elimination Reaction of an Alcohol In this part of your lab exercise, you will be reacting tert-butyl alcohol with sulfuric acid. Draw the mechanism for the reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with sulfuric acid, and also write the product that will be formed: Will the reaction proceed by an E1 or E2 mechanism? Why does an elimination product form rather than a substitution product? The product is a gas...why? Because the product is a gas, you need to learn how to collect a gaseous product. Your first impulse may be to just collect the gas into a test tube, or into a beaker. However, you should FILL the collection container WITH WATER BEFORE collecting the gas...why?
