The hydration reaction of 1-hexene includes the addition of water across the double bond, adding an alcohol group to the more substituted carbon. Sulfuric acid is used as the catalyst for the reaction, which donates a hydrogen. The resulting product is a racemic mixture of 2-hexanol. A. Draw the alkene hydration reaction and its product(s) using information given above. B. Please include reaction mechanism with arrows showing all steps resulting in product formation
