Question:
Write the structure of the product for the reaction:
\[
\text{CH}_3\text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \xrightarrow{\text{Hg}^{2+}, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{OH})\text{CH}_3
\]
Write the structure of the product for the reaction:
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \xrightarrow{\text{Hg}^{2+}, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{OH})\text{CH}_3 \]
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \xrightarrow{\text{Hg}^{2+}, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{OH})\text{CH}_3 \]

Solution and Explanation
In this reaction, the mercuric ion (\(\text{Hg}^{2+}\)) with sulfuric acid (\(H_2SO_4\)) catalyzes the hydration of the alkyne to form an alcohol. The product of the reaction is propan-2-ol. \[ \text{CH}_3\text{C} \equiv \text{CH} \xrightarrow{\text{Hg}^{2+}, \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4} \text{CH}_3\text{C}(\text{OH})\text{CH}_3 \]
