First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.
Answer:
The correct answer is C ions from the solute molecules have a strong attraction to the polar solvent molecules.
Explanation:
NaCl or Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which easily get dissolved in polar molecular compound such as water(H2O).
Both NaCl and H2O are polar compound because the atoms that forms NaCl and H2O have vast difference in their electronegativities.As a result the bonding electrons in both NaCl and H2O are not equally shared.
NaCl get dissolved in water molecules by dipole dipole interaction.

Answer:
producer to decomposer
Explanation:
This is because in a food chain , energy flow from one trophic level to another. The producer which include plants are the source of energy which they manufacture good in the presence of light energy from sun. Energy flow directly from the producer to the primary consumer which are heterotrophs that feed on plants. Energy flow from consumer to decomposer after the consumer died and it is decayed.
