Determine the name of the alkene product formed in the following dehydration reaction.

Determine the name of the alkene product formed in the following dehydration reaction. So here we have our alcohol carbon with its O H group, and then our neighboring carbon, there's only one, is this carbon. It has 2 hydrogens on it. Remember, in this dehydration reaction or elimination reaction, the alcohol carbon loses its Oh, the neighboring carbon loses an h, and they're gonna form a double bond with each other in order to make maintain 4 bonds. So here it would look like this. Here goes the alcohol carbon. Now it has 2 hydrogens there, they're still there. So it's a CH2. And then this carbon here lost 1 H, still has another. But let's name this alkene that we just formed. We start numbering it from the end, close to the double bond which is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The double bond starts on carbon number 1, so this would be 1. Seven carbons is heptane, but it is an alkene so we change the -ane ending to -ine. So it becomes 1 heptene. That means that option c is our correct answer. None of the other options would work. Sys and trans can't work because for that to happen, we would have to have more than one group attached to a double bonded carbon. And here we only have 1. And then we can see that the double bond starts on carbon number 1, not carbon number 2. So c would be the best answer for this practice question.
