Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Step 1: Formation of protonated alcohol

Step 2: Formation of carbocation: Protonated alcohol loses the water molecule to form the carbocation. It is the slowest step and hence, the rate determining step of the reaction.

Step 3: Elimination of proton: Elimination of proton from carbocation to form an alkene.
