Because alcohol protons are reasonably acidic and easily undergo exchange, it is important that the base be matched to the appro

priate solvent. Explain why it would be virtually impossible to sort out the factors the size of the base or the stability of the alkenes formed if a reaction were carried out using methanol as the solvent and potassium t-butoxide as the base. In your answer draw a mechanism using methanol and tert-butoxide to illustrate your answer.
I don't understand how to do the mechanism at all. but wouldn't the reasoning have to do with methanol being able to produce methoxide

Potassium tert-butoxide is used to make alkenes by an elimination reaction that does not follow Zaitsev's rule. The compound dissociates into its ionic form, potassium ion and t-butoxide ion. The t-butoxide ion reacts with a haloalkane. Methanol is fairly acidic and it will also dissociate into hydronium and methoxide ions. The methoxide ion will react with the haloalkene and produce a Zaitsev alkene making it difficult to perform the analysis.

Complete the analogy below. Rainfall is to precipitation as groundwater is to _____.
romanna [79]
The correct answer is (b.) infiltration. Rainfall is to precipitation as groundwater is to infiltration. Precipitation is the release of the water from the cloud (evaporated water) in the form of rain and snow. Infiltration is a process in which the water from the ground enters the soil.

Which disappears more rapidly from a population, a deleterious dominant allele or a deleterious recessive allele?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Selection is a directional process that leads to an increase or a decrease in the frequency of genes or genotypes. Selection is the process that increases the frequencies of plant resistance alleles in natural ecosystems through coevolution, and it is the process that increases the frequencies of virulence alleles in agricultural ecosystems during boom and bust cycles.

Selection occurs in response to a specific environmental factor. It is a central topic of population and evolutionary biology. The consequence of natural selection on the genetic structure and evolution of organisms is complicated. Natural selection can decrease the genetic variation in populations of organisms by selecting for or against a specific gene or gene combination (leading to directional selection). It can increase the genetic variation in populations by selecting for or against several genes or gene combinations (leading to disruptive selection or balancing selection). Natural selection might lead to speciation through the accumulation of adaptive genetic differences among reproductively isolated populations. Selection can also prevent speciation by homogenizing the population genetic structure across all locations.

Selection in plant pathology is mainly considered in the framework of gene-for-gene coevolution. Plant pathologists often think in terms of Van der Plank and his concept of "stabilizing selection" that would operate against pathogen strains with unnecessary virulence. As we will see shortly, Van der Plank used the wrong term, as he was actually referring to directional selection against unneeded virulence alleles.
