Answer:

100 %

Explanation:

The maximun efficiency possible (whem not limited by the second law of thermodynamics) happens when all the energy used is transformed into the type of energy we required with no other transformations.

For example, in an engine we want that all the energy we supply is being converted to work. That's the ideal case, but in reality always some of that energy is lost in the form of heat.

grin007 [14]

She needs to know the distance from LA to SF.

Call that distance x. Then you can calculate the cost from:

# of gallons consumed: x miles / 38 miles/ gallon = (x/38) gallons

After that,

cost = # gallons * cost per gallon = (x/38) gallons * 4 $/gallon = 4x/38 $

Identify reagents necessary to convert cyclohexane into 1,3-cylohexadiene: notice that the starting material has no leaving grou

Vinvika [58]

1,3-cylohexadiene i synthesized starting from cyclohexane in following 4 steps.

1) Free Radical Substitution Rxn: Halogenation of cyclohexane in the presence of UV yield chlorocyclohexane.

2) Elimination Rxn: Dehydrohalogenation of chlorocyclohexane yields cyclohexene.

3) Halogenation of Cyclohexene (Electrophillic Addition Rxn) gives 1,2-dihalocyclohexane.

4) Elemination Rxn: When dibromocyclohexane is treated with KOH and heated it gives 1,3-cyclohexadiene as shown below,
