(a)
Interpretation:
The mechanism of the product and the role of sulfuric acid, isomer and chirality of the alcohol should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Isomer: A compound is same molecular formula and different in structural formula is called isomer.
A carbon atom is attached by the four different groups is called chiral carbon.

- Draw and name the five cycloalkane structures of formula C5H10. Can any of these structures give rise to geometric (cis-trans) isomerism? If so, show the cis and trans stereoisomersarrow_forwardAn isomer of C6H12O could contain a carboxylic acid. True or false?arrow_forwardDraw the condensed structures and give the systematic names for all the alkenes with molecular formula C6H12, ignoring stereoisomers. (Hint: There are 13.) b. Which of the alkenes have E and Z isomers? c. Which of the alkenes is the most stable? d. Which of the alkenes is the least stable?arrow_forward
