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):
Let $ P_n = \alpha^n + \beta^n $, $ n \in \mathbb{N} $. If $ P_{10} = 123,\ P_9 = 76,\ P_8 = 47 $ and $ P_1 = 1 $, then the quadratic equation having roots $ \alpha $ and $ \frac{1}{\beta} $ is:
