    Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

    Question No. 1 to 5 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
    Dehydration of alcohols can lead to the formation of either alkenes or ethers. This dehydration can be carried out either with protonic
    acids such as conc. H2SO4,H3PO4 or catalysts such as anhydrous ZnCl2 or Al2O3. When primary alcohols are heated with conc.
    H2SO4 at 433-443 K, undergo intramolecular dehydration to form alkenes. Secondary and tertiary alcohols undergo dehydration
    under milder conditions. The ease of dehydration of alcohols follows the order: 3o > 2o > 1o.
    The dehydration of alcohols always occurs in accordance with Saytzeff s rule. Primary alcohols when heated with protic acid at 413
    K, gives dialkyl ether.
