Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

In this question, we have to start with the protonation of the double bond. In carvone we have two double bonds, so, we have to decide first which one would be protonated.

The problem states that the terminal alkene is the one that would is protonated. Therefore, we have to do the protonation in the double bond at the bottom to produce the carbocation number 1. Then, a hydride shift takes place to produce the carbocation number 2. A continuation, an elimination reaction takes place to produce the conjugated diene. Then the diene is protonated at the carbonyl group and with an elimination reaction of an hydrogen in the alpha carbon we can obtain carvacol.

Answer:

D) contains more OH– ions than H+ ions

Explanation:

THESE ARE THE OPTIONS FOR THE QUESTION

A) causes some indicators to change color B) conducts electricity C) contains more H+ ions than OH– ions D) contains more OH– ions than H+ ions

Base can be regarded as substance which can dissociates in water then form hydroxide ions (OH–) .

Bases can be regarded as compounds which break into hydroxide ions I.e (OH-) with more other compounds if put in an aqueous solution. Hence it contains more OH– ions

Which balanced equation represents a fusion reaction?

lyudmila [28]

Fusion reaction is a type of nuclear reaction where two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. This happens when the collision is in a very high speed. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.

Describe the formation of an aqueous libr solution when solid libr dissolves in water

steposvetlana [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The water is a polar solvent which dissolves into the LiBr molecules and converts into $Li^+$ and $Br^-$ ions far from the solid also into the solution, when they are hydrated.

Now, the complete words are as given below:-

The $K^+$ and $I^-$ ions at the surface of the solid are pulled into the solution by the polar water molecules, where the hydration process surrounds separate ions with water molecules.
