This reaction follows the Markovnikov mechanism:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH

(minor)

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂(OH)CH₃ (major)

The major product is pentan-2-ol and the minor is pentan-1-ol

Predict the major and minor products of CH3CH2CH2CH=CH2 +H20 --> . Name the products using systematic names.
