Interpretation:
We have to explain why the acid-catalyzed hydration of
Concept introduction:
The acid catalyzed hydration of an alkene involves the addition of proton to the double bonded carbon atom resulting in the formation of carbocation, bond formation between carbocation and the nucleophile, H2 O and the deprotonation to give alcohol.
