        The only alcohol that can be prepared by the direct hydration of alkene is

    A)  ethyl alcohol                    

    B)  methyl alcohol

    C)  propyl alcohol                  

    D) \[iso-\]butyl alcohol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Methyl alcohol cannot be obtained by hydration of an alkene as it contains only one carbon Mom. Propene on direct hydration gives iso-propyl alcohol and 150-butene on direct hydration gives tert-butyl alcohol. Only ethene on direct hydration gives ethanol.
