The possible alkenes to produce 1-methylcyclohexanol are  and . (Refer to the attached image)

Further explanation:

Oxymercuration-demercuration reaction:

Oxymercuration-demercuration converts alkene into alcohol in two steps. In the initial step, the alkene is reacted with {\text{H}}{{\text{g}}^{2 + }} salt and nucleophile such as alcohol and water to produce an organomercury intermediate. In second step, the carbon-Hg bond in organomercury intermediate is converted into C-H bond.

In this method the product is obtained in accordance with Markovnikov’s rule, and rearrangement of carbocation does not take place.

The mechanism of Oxymercuration-demercuration is as follows(Refer to the attached image):

Step 1: {\text{Hg}}{\left( {{\text{OAc}}} \right)_2} break and form mercuroacetic cation \left( {{\text{HgOA}}{{\text{c}}^ + }} \right) and {\text{OA}}{{\text{c}}^ - } ions.

Step 2: The mercuroacetic cation reacts with a double bond and forms a cyclic cation.

Step 3:The cyclic intermediate is attacked by the {{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}} nucleophile to the most substituted side according to Markovnikov’s rule and forms organomercury intermediate.

Step 4: the carbon-Hg bond in organomercury intermediate is converted into C-H bond.

The methylcyclohexanol has alcohol on tertiary carbon thus the double bond must be attached to the tertiary carbon in initial alkene. This means there are only two possible alkenes that can have double bond attached to the tertiary carbon. These alkenes are 1-methylcyclohexene and methylenecyclohexane.

Answer:

a) methylidenecyclohexane

b) 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene

Explanation:

The given reaction is oxymercuration-demercuration.

This reaction gives alcohol (according to Markovnikov's rule) from alkenes.

The reaction of alkene to give desired  1-methylcyclohexanol is shown in the figure.

The alkenes are:

a) methylidenecyclohexane

b) 1-methylcyclohex-1-ene

Both will give alcohol where hydroxyl group will be on the more substituted double bonded carbon atom.

What is the total mass of a mixture of 3.50x10^22 formula units na2so4, 0.500 mol h2o, and 7.23 g agcl?
Crazy boy [7]
Answer is: mass of the mixture is 24,47 g.
1) N(Na₂SO₄) = 3,5·10²².
n(Na₂SO₄) = 3,5·10²² ÷ 6·10²³ 1/mol.
n(Na₂SO₄) = 0,058 mol.
m(Na₂SO₄) = 0,058 mol · 142 g/mol.
m(Na₂SO₄) = 8,24 g.
2) n(H₂O) = 0,500 mol.
m(H₂O) = 0,5 mol · 18 g/mol.
m(H₂O) = 9 g.
3) m(total) = 8,24 g + 9 g + 7,23 g.
m(total) = 24,47 g.
n - amount of substance.

A factory discharges clean, warm water into a nearby stream. Fish keep dying in this part of stream. Explain why.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

the fish can't survive in that warm water

Explanation:

when the factory puts that warm water into the stream where the fish live they changed their environment. by adding unknown chemicals and changing the temp of the water the fish start to die.

The fish aren't used to living in that warm water, and if they can't adapt fast enough they will die, also the unknown chemicals that could be in the water will act as a poison for them making that stream unable to support any life.
