Menthol is easily dehydrated to give mainly 3-menthene.
Correct!
True
Cyclohexanol dehydration with phosphoric acid results in cyclohexene.
True
Dehydration reactions in organic molecules usually result in the formation of a carbon-carbon double bond.
True
Dehydration reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond. Therefore, it is a type of condensation reaction.
True
Dehydration is not related to redox reaction.
True
Dehydration is an endothermic reaction.
True
