Q1. Draw the condensed structural formula for the product that forms in the following hydration reaction:

Q2. Draw the condensed structural formula for the product obtained by the hydration of 2-methyl-2-butene.

In an addition reaction, hydrogen adds to the double bond to give an alkane.

For an asymmetrical alkene, the H— from water (H —OH) adds to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms, and the —OH bonds to the carbon with fewer H atoms.

In chemistry, a hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne. This type of reaction is employed industrially to produce ethanol, isopropanol, and 2-butanol.
