Answer:

Hydration of alkynes begins similar to the hydration of alkenes through the addition of the first water molecule. However, this first hydration reaction forms an enol, an alcohol bonded to a vinyl carbon. Enols immediately undergo a special type of isomerization reaction called tautomerization to form carbonyl groups - aldehydes or ketones. To keep things simple, this reaction is called "enol-keto" tautomerization with the understanding that aldehydes form on terminal alkyne carbons. As with alkenes, hydration (addition of water) to alkynes requires a strong acid, usually sulfuric acid with a mercuric sulfate catalyst
