Hydration reactions often involve the addition of water molecules to stabilize reactive intermediates




The reaction involves hydration followed by rearrangement:
• The given structure undergoes hydration, leading to the addition of hydroxyl (−OH) groups.
• Hydrogen bonding stabilizes the structure, resulting in the product OH−O−OH
The correct option is(D): 
Consider the following sequence of reactions : 
Molar mass of the product formed (A) is ______ g mol\(^{-1}\).
The magnitude of heat exchanged by a system for the given cyclic process ABC (as shown in the figure) is (in SI units):
