1−methylcyclohexanol is a tertiary alcohol. Tertiary Alcohols are synthesized by either reacting Ketone with Organometallic compounds like Grignard reagent or by hydration of substituted alkenes. <span>1−methylcyclohexanol can not be synthesized by reduction of carbonyl compound because it is not possible to have a starting carbonyl compound having carbonyl group along with three other alkyl groups (as carbon can only form 4 bonds).

Result:
Tertiary alcohols don't contain a hydrogen atom at carbon attached to hydroxyl group that is why it is not possible to synthesize </span><span>1−methylcyclohexanol by reduction of carbonyl compound.</span>

Explain why BH3 is trigonal planar and NH3 is trigonal pyramidal.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:o It is important to realise that mixing will be small unless there are electrons in the 4a1 LUMO, this is why NH3 is pyramidal while BH3 is planar! ... This mixing is very strong and stabilises the 3a1 MO substantially and hence NH3 is trigonal pyramidal and not planar.

Answer:

$2CH_{4(g)} +3O_{2(g)} -->2CO(g)+4H_{2}O_{(g)}\\CH_{4(g)} +2O_{2(g)} -->CO_{2(g)} +2H_{2}O_{(g)} \\$

Explanation:

$2CH_{4(g)} +3O_{2(g)} -->2CO(g)+4H_{2}O_{(g)}\\CH_{4(g)} +2O_{2(g)} -->CO_{2(g)} +2H_{2}O_{(g)} \\$

The incomplete combustion of alkanes, and other fuels actually, happens when there is a limited supply of oxygen. Instead of the fuel burning completely to produce carbon dioxide, it produces carbon monoxide instead.

This gas is harmful to jumans because it combines with haemoglobin in lood and takes up space that belongs to oxygen which can lead to suffocation or even death
