To solve the problem, we need to identify the structure of the compound with the formula C4H8 that, when treated with dilute H2SO4 and water, yields a product with the formula C4H10O that does not exhibit optical isomerism. ### Step 1: Identify the starting compound (C4H8) The compound C4H8 is likely an alkene, as it has a general formula of CnH2n. A common candidate for C4H8 is 2-butene (CH3-CH=CH-CH3). ### Step 2: Reaction with dilute H2SO4 When 2-butene reacts with dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4), it undergoes hydration. The double bond in the alkene opens up, and the addition of water occurs, leading to the formation of an alcohol. ...
