Answer:
Propene reacts with water in the presence of a dilute,strong acid to produce propanol . In addition,an alkene is converted to an alcohol by the addition of a water molecule
Alkenes undergo an addition reaction with water in the presence of a catalyst to form an alcohol. This type of addition reaction is called hydration
An alkene does not react with pure water, since water is not acidic enough to allow the hydrogen to act as an electrophile to start a reaction. However, with the presence of small amount of an acid, the reaction does occur with a water molecule added to the double bond of alkene, and the product is an alcohol.
