Answer:
Distribution coefficient: 4.79
Explanation:
Distribution coefficient is the ratio between equilibrium concentration of non-aqueous phase and aqueous phase where both solvents are inmiscible. The equation for the problem is:
Distribution coefficient: Concentration in chloroform / Concentration in Water
<em>Concentration in water: 2.59mg / 30mL = 0.08633mg/mL</em>
<em>Concentration in chloroform: (15mg-2.59mg) / 30mL = 0.4137mg/mL</em>
<em />
Distribution coefficient: 0.4137mg/mL / 0.08633mg/mL
<h3>Distribution coefficient: 4.79</h3>

using Hoffman's elimination reaction.
Answer:
The mechanism is E1 and the product is cyclohexene
Explanation:
Attached to this answer is an image of the reaction mechanism of the reaction between cyclohexanol and concentrated sulfuric acid/phosphoric acid. The acid (H3O^+) acts as catalyst.
We can see that the first step in the mechanism is the protonation of the -OH group of the alcohol. This is followed by loss of water molecule which is a good leaving group.
The water now acts as a Lewis base by abstracting a proton from the substrate, forming cyclohexene and regenerating the acid catalyst.
