Dehydration is removal of water.
In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.
In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].
The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.
The process or mechanism can be understood as:
so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene
The energy of the wave does not move through anything
So the unbalanced equation would be Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2
Which means the balanced equation would be 3Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2
This is balance the equation out since you now has 3 magnesium and 2 nitrogen on the left side, and 3 magnesium on 2 nitrogen on the right. Double check my work though, it's been awhile.
The answer is A! Heat energy is thermal energy. To remember all Energy use M.E.L.T.S!
M- Mechanical energy
E- Electrical energy
L- Light energy
T- Thermal energy
S- Sound energy
