Propose a structural formula for the product(s) when each of the following alkenes is treated with H2O/H2SO4. Why are two products formed in part (b), but only one in parts (a) and (c)?

(a) 1-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular formula of C6H14O.

(b) 2-Hexene gives two alcohols, each with a molecular formula of C6H14O.

(c) 3-Hexene gives one alcohol with a molecular formula of C6H14O.
