Verified step by step guidance

Identify the structure of 4-chloro-3-ethyl-1-hexene. This compound is an alkene with a chlorine substituent on the fourth carbon and an ethyl group on the third carbon of a hexene chain.

Understand that hydration of an alkene involves the addition of water (H2O) across the double bond, resulting in the formation of an alcohol.

Apply Markovnikov's rule, which states that in the addition of HX to an alkene, the hydrogen atom will attach to the carbon with the greater number of hydrogen atoms, and the hydroxyl group (OH) will attach to the carbon with fewer hydrogen atoms.

Determine the major product by adding the OH group to the more substituted carbon (the one with fewer hydrogens) of the double bond, resulting in a more stable carbocation intermediate.

Identify the minor product by considering the less stable carbocation intermediate, where the OH group attaches to the less substituted carbon of the double bond.
