Methylcyclopentene reacting with reacting with sulfuric acid and water

The product is 1-methylcyclopentanol  

Explanation:

The acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes involves the addition of a water molecule to a C=C double bond.

H₂O + C=C ⟶ H-C-C-OH

An H atom adds to one of the C atoms, and an OH group adds to the other

This reaction follows Markovnikov’s rule — the H adds to the C atom that has more hydrogen atoms, and the OH adds to the more substituted carbon.

The steps of the mechanism are:

The product is the alcohol with the OH group on the more substituted carbon — 1-methylcyclopentanol.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

can you list the answers so i can answer
