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. 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 1−methylcyclohexanol by reduction of carbonyl compound.

substitute:

$atomic \: mass = \frac{(23.985 \times 78.70) + (24.986 \times 10.13) + (25.983 \times 11.17)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{(1887.620) + (253.108) + (290.230)}{100} \\ \\ = \frac{2430.958}{100} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{average \: atomic \: mass = 24.3 \: amu}}}$

stiks02 [169]

The reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid can be expressed through the chemical reaction,

CaCO3 + 2HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

The molecular weight of calcium carbonate is 100 g/mol while that of hydrochloric acid is 36.45. The equation above depicts that 100 g of calcium carbonate can be dissolved in 72.9 g of hydrochloric acid.

x = (4 g HCl)(100 g CaCO3 / 72.9 HCl)
x = 5.49 g

Answer: 5.49 g
