  1. A Dehydrogenation reaction
  2. B Dehydration reaction
  3. C Oxidation reaction
  4. D Addition reaction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Dehydration reaction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When tertiary butanol \(\left(3^{\circ}\right.\) alcohol \()\) is passed over heated \(\mathrm{Cu}\) at \(573 \mathrm{~K}\), isobutene is formed through elimination reaction. Since, water gets eliminated, so it is also considered as dehydration reaction. The \(2^{\circ}\)…
