In what type of reaction is an alcohol converted to an alkene?

The reaction of dehydration converts an alcohol to an alkene.

Explanation:

In order to converto an alcohol to an alkene, we need heat and a strong acid.

Primary alcohols require higher temperatures than secundary and terciary alcohols. If the temperature is lower than it is needed, the product will be an ether instead of an alkene.

The mechanism usually involves the formation of an an alkyloxonium ion, water will be produced during the reaction. The reaction  goes through an E2 mechanism.

One symplified mechanism is represented in the figure attached.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.

they all get energy from eating other animals, dead animals to be more precise.

hienas tends to steal pray from other animals. crows and vultures tend to eat dead animals and leftovers.
