Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -(c) Butene reacts with steam to produce butanol.
Detailed explanation-2: -But-1-ene reacts with steam as shown to form a mixture of two structural isomers, S and T. Hint: But-1-ene contains a double bond at carbon-1. Whenever but-1-ene reacts with steam it produces two different products (alcohols) in different percentages due to the asymmetrical nature of the but-1-ene.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alkene + water (steam) → alcohol This is called hydration, and it needs a temperature of approximately 300°C and a catalyst.
