Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
b. False
(1) CCl4 (3) C6H12O 6
(2) CH3OH (4) Ca(OH)2
b. Products are favored over reactants in the reaction.
c. Reactants are favored over products in the reaction.
d. All of the reactants have turned into products in the reaction.
If Keq equals 1, this means the reaction is at equilibrium and neither the reactants nor the products are favored. The concentrations of both remain constant over time.
When Keq = 1, it implies that the reaction is at equilibrium and neither the reactants nor the products are favored in the reaction. So, the correct answer to your question is option a: Products and reactants are equally favored in the reaction.
In this situation, the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant over time because the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

For a chemical equilibrium, Keq = 1 indicates that neither reactants nor products are favored; rather, they are present in roughly equal amounts at equilibrium. So the correct answer is Option C.
If Keq = 1 for a chemical equilibrium, it means that products and reactants are equally favored in the reaction. In other words, neither the reactants nor the products are favored when the reaction reaches equilibrium. Equilibrium constants help us understand the extent to which a reaction occurs. When Keq is greater than 1, the concentration of products at equilibrium is greater than the concentration of reactants, suggesting a product-favored reaction. Conversely, when Keq is less than 1, the concentration of reactants is higher, indicating a reactant-favored reaction. When Keq is equal to 1, it implies that the concentrations of reactants and products are roughly equal at equilibrium, reflecting a state of balance in the chemical system.
