Draw the mechanism for the dehydration of propan-2-olby concentrated sulphuric acid, using a mechanism that goes through a carbocation intermediate. Show all lone pair electrons, hydrogen atoms and mechanistic arrows. Note: do not draw the structure for H2SO4 as a part of the mechanism

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
