Propan-2-ol undergoes acidic dehydration relatively at a lower temperature than propan-1-ol.

Propan-2-ol undergoes acidic dehydration relatively at a lower temperature than propan-1-ol. Correct Answer True

Acidic dehydration of alcohols occurs through the formation of a carbocation. Since tertiary alcohol produce the most stable carbocations and primary alcohols produce the least stable carbocation, the dehydration of tertiary and secondary alcohols is relatively easier.
