Acid-catalyzed hydration is a chemical reaction where an alkene (a molecule containing a carbon-carbon double bond) reacts with water in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an alcohol. This process is an important reaction in the context of the addition of H2O by oxymercuration, a method for the hydration of alkenes.
congrats on reading the definition of Acid-Catalyzed Hydration. now let's actually learn it.
