1 answer:
The reaction described above is the formation of an acetal. The initial starting material has a central carbonyl and two terminal alcohol functional groups. In the presence of acid, the carbonyl will become protonated, making the carbon of the carbonyl susceptible to nucleophilic attack from one of the alcohols. The alcohol substitutes onto the carbon of the carbonyl to provide us with the intermediate shown.
The intermediate will continue to react in the presence of acid and the -OH that was once the carbonyl will become protonated, turning it into a good leaving group. The protonated alcohol leaves and is substituted by the other terminal alcohol to give the final acetal product. The end result of the overall reaction is the loss of water from the original molecule to give the spiroacetal shown in the image provided.

Answer:
- <u><em>g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.</em></u>
Explanation:
See the graph for this question on the figure attached.
The growing of the <em>plant A</em> is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it <em>most likely </em>does not increase in height.
The growing of the <em>plant B</em> is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that <em>most likely</em> this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.
Thus, for both plants you can say that <em>on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (</em>option g).
