Write out a detailed mechanism of the acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclohexanol. use only hydronium as your acid source.
1 answer:
Dehydration means (removal of water molecule) and in this case a double bond is formed by removal of H and OH from two vicinal (neighboring) carbons, this occurs by protonation then lose of water molecule then lose of H⁺ (we have to add H⁺ from acid at the beginning due to OH⁻ is bad leaving group)

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).
Given:
⇒
1 mole of is formed from 1 mole of charcoal, that means 1 mole of
is formed from 12 g of charcoal.
1 lbs = 453.592 grams
6.75 lbs = 6.75 x 453.592 =3061.746g
So, formed from 3061.746g of charcoal is:
= x 3061.746g
=255.14 mol.
Now, at STP, the volume of 1 mol of gas =22.4 L
Volume of 255.14 mol of = 255.14 x 22.4 L
Volume of 255.14 mol of = 535.8 L
Hence, 535.8 L volume(in L), at STP, of carbon dioxide produced by the complete combustion of 6.75 lbs of charcoal.
