Asssertion : (CH(3))(3) COH when heated ...

Asssertion : `(CH_(3))_(3) COH` when heated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` gives isobutylene as the main product and not di-tertiary butyl ether.
Reason : All alcohols are radily dehydrated with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)`.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct for assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Correct reason `(CH_(3))_(3)overset(+)C` carbocation is quite stable and loses a `H^(+)` ion to from isobutylene as the product.
