Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.

How do you find the highest energy level?
joja [24]

Answer:

The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.

The microscopes used today are just like the ones used by Leeuwenhoek and Hooke. True or false
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

While we do know that A. Leeuwenhoek used a simple microscope that consisted of only 1 lens, Hooke used a compound microscope. Although, after trying a compound microscope, Hooke found out that it strained his eyes and continued to use a simple microscope for his <em>Micrographia</em>.

Thus, we can say that the (compound) microscopes used today are different than the (simple) microscope used by Hooke and Leeuwenhoek.
