Do  expect that the ratio of isomeric products would be the same if  started with the corresponding methyl cyclobutanols. Explain.

In addition to the dehydration reaction, the major and minor cyclohexene products can equilibrate under these acidic reaction conditions.

Suppose that  a pure sample of one of the minor cyclohexenes and you treated it under the reaction conditions used in this lab. What would to find? Be specific, and show how (i.e., a mechanism by which) this result would be produced.
