Dehydration require an acid catalyst to protonate the hydroxy group of the alcohol and convert and convert it into good leaving group. Loss of water followed by a loss of a proton, given the alkene an equilibrium is established between reactants and products. Q. To improve the yield of above reaction which of following is correct.

Answer»

High temperature
Distillation (removal of alkene)
ADDITION of `H_(2)O`
Both A and B

Solution :[E' REACTION favoured at high T & remval of alkene, Equilibrium reaction, FORCED in forward direction by removal of alkene, Le-chatlier's PRINCIPLE.
