For the reaction below, draw the structures of the carbocation intermediate and the final product.
This is a substitution reaction. Because the reaction takes place in acid and the leaving group is on a 2º carbon, it will probably form a carbocation (SN1 mechanism).
-OH is a poor leaving group so the alcohol will protonate first, so it can leave as H2O, which is neutral.
