Question

Wired Faculty App

To cleave the C—O bond in alcohols small amount of acid is added. Explain.

Solution

When we put a few drops of acid, the oxygen of alcohol is converted to oxonium ion which weakens C—O bond. Due to the development of positive charge on oxygen, water molecule is eliminated after the cleavage of C—O bond and carbocation is formed.
