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.

In the human life cycle, diploid cells undergo a cell division process called __________. The resulting haploid cells later fuse
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Meiosis; fertilization

In the human life cycle, diploid cells undergo a cell division process called meiosis. The resulting haploid cells later fuse during fertilization which regenerates diploid cells.

Explanation:

Diploid cells possess two basic sets of chromosomes known as homologous chromosomes. They undergo a two-step meiosis (Meiosis I and II) to yield four haploid cells with half the original chromosome number of the parent cell. These haploid cells are called sex cells or gametes.

The male and female gametes (sperm and egg) then fuses during fertilization to form zygote, a single cell with two sets of chromosomes (diploid number). Then, it undergoes mitosis to regenerates diploid cells with the same chromosome number as found in the zygote.
