Question
**Question 28 of 31**

**Question:**
What will be the major organic product from the acid-catalysed hydration of 1-butene (CH₂=CHCH₂CH₃)?

**Options:**
A) 1-butanol
B) 2-butanol
C) 1-butanoic acid
D) butane
E) 2-butene

**Diagram Description:**
The image includes a line diagram representing the molecular structure involved in the reaction. It shows a simplified structure of an alkene (a carbon-carbon double bond present in 1-butene).

**Answer Analysis:**
When 1-butene undergoes acid-catalyzed hydration, water (H₂O) in the presence of an acid catalyst (such as H₂SO₄) reacts with the alkene to form an alcohol. According to Markovnikov's rule, the hydrogen atom (H) from the water molecule will add to the carbon atom of the double bond that has the greater number of hydrogen atoms, resulting in the formation of 2-butanol.

**Correct Answer:**
B) 2-butanol
