All right. Hi everyone. So this question is asking us what is the line angle formula for the akin product of the reaction shown below? And in this case, we have two metal but 1010 reacting with acid in the presence of heat. Now, just for the record recall that in a skeletal formula or a line angle structure, carbon carbon bonds are represented as simple lines in which every corner or open end represents a carbon atom with enough hydrogen atoms to make that carbon neutral. Now, there's an exception here because hydrogen atoms connecting to atoms other than carbon are explicitly shown, but otherwise they are not. So in this case, lets go ahead and discuss the reaction involving an alcohol with acid in the presence of heat to produce an alkene as stated in the text of the question. Now recall that this reaction is referred to as the dehydration of an alcohol. What that means is that water is removed from the starting material to generate a double bond. So to address some terminology here, carbon one, in this case, that's attaching to the hydroxy or oh group directly can be described as the alpha carbon. Now, carbons directly adjacent to the alpha position are referred to as beta carbons. And the reason why I bring this up is because the double bond in the final product would be in between the alpha and beta carbons. Now, sometimes there are multiple beta carbons that have hydrogens attached. Because in order for water to be removed across the starting material, the alpha carbon loses a hydroxy group and the beta carbon loses a hydrogen. So sometimes multiple beta positions are available that all have hydrogens, meaning that multiple alkene products can be produced. But in this case, we only have one beta position, which means that there is only one product. So I would start by drawing out the carbon skeleton except now there will be a double bond in between carbon one and two, making my product two methyl, but one in and there you have it. So here is the line angle formula of our product. And with that being said, thank you so very much for watching. And I hope you found this helpful.
