Sure, let’s go step-by-step to answer each of these questions.

### Question 5: Dehydration of [tex]$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH$[/tex]

Dehydration of an alcohol typically involves the elimination of water (H₂O) to form an alkene. For the given alcohol, 1-butanol (butan-1-ol), the product of its dehydration will be an alkene.

The structural formula of 1-butanol is [tex]$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH$[/tex]. When it undergoes dehydration (typically in the presence of a strong acid like sulfuric acid and heat), it forms 1-butene:

[tex]$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_2-OH \rightarrow CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_3 + H_2O$[/tex]

So, the correct option is:
- A. [tex]$CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_3$[/tex]

### Question 6: General formula for alkanols

Alkanols, also known as alcohols, have the general formula [tex]$CnH_{2n+1}OH$[/tex], where [tex]\(n\)[/tex] is the number of carbon atoms.

So, the correct option is:
- B. [tex]$CnH_{2n+1}OH$[/tex]

### Question 7: The simplest alcohol

The simplest alcohol is the one with the smallest number of carbon atoms. Methanol ([tex]$CH_3OH$[/tex]) has only one carbon atom.

So, the correct option is:
- A. [tex]$CH_3OH$[/tex]

### Question 8: The most widely consumed alcohol

The most widely consumed alcohol is ethanol. It is commonly found in alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits.

So, the correct option is:
- D. Ethanol

To summarize:

5. A. [tex]$CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_3$[/tex]
6. B. [tex]$CnH_{2n+1}OH$[/tex]
7. A. [tex]$CH_3OH$[/tex]
8. D. Ethanol
