In the hydration of an alkene carbocation is formed from :
Carbonation
Oxonium ion
hydroxide ion
hydride ion
the hydration of an alkene is formed by oxonium ions.
Oxonium ion is a charged ion that is positive charge and has three hydrogen atoms bond to oxygen. The ion is formed by the interaction of water and hydrogen ions, released from acidic solution. It is generated along with an intermediate during hydration of alkene carbocation.
The order of acidity of the following compounds is:
(i) o-Nitrophenol
(ii) Phenol
(iii) o-Cresol
(iv) Ethanol
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Dimethyl ether is completely soluble in water. However, diethyl ether is soluble in water to a very small extent.
Statement II: Sodium metal can be used to dry diethyl ether and not ethyl alcohol.
In the light of the given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
