Introduction to Dehydration

Introduction to Dehydration

Alcohols can be converted into alkenes by removing a molecule of water. Because a small molecule is removed from the reactant to leave a double bond in its place, this is classified as an elimination reaction. When the eliminated molecule is water, it is specifically called dehydration.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Elimination. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
