1. Write the equation for the dehydration of 2-butanol and balance it. You need not worry about where the double bond goes, just the empirical formula is all you need.
2. mols = 0.081g/molar mass 2-butanol.
3. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, (I think it will be 1:1), convert mols 2-butanol to the product.
4. Convert mols to liters remembering that 1 mol occupies 22.4 L at STP. I note the problem talks about a "mixture of products" but you can only work this problem for ONE product unless you know the percentages of the various products.
For 2. I suspect that you will hydrate the double bond. Look in your book to find if this follows the Markovnikov's rule or not.
1. What is the maximum volume (at STP) of the butene mixture that could be obtained by the dehydration of 81 mg of 2-butanol?
2. When 2-methylpropene is bubbled into dilute sulfuric acid at room temperature, it appears to dissolve. What new substance has been formed?
