Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The addition reaction of water and propene in an acidic solution is a hydration reaction. In this reaction, the double bond of propene is broken, and water is added across the carbon atoms. The product formed is an alcohol since the -OH group of water is added to one of the carbon atoms previously part of the double bond. An acidic solution is used as a catalyst to facilitate the reaction. Therefore, option A) an alcohol is the correct choice.
