Question

Which Alcohol is dehydrated easily ?

Answer 1

1. Dehydration of alcohol means the reaction of alcohol molecules with any protic acid which results in the elimination of water molecules to form alkenes.
2. Protic acids used for example are concentrated ${\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\mathrm{or}{\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{PO}}_4$ or catalysts like anhydrous zinc chloride or alumina.
3. The rate of dehydration is higher for tertiary alcohols rather than secondary or primary alcohols.
4.
