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.

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

12.<br> An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s

State two ways of measuring the quantity of reactant or product
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.
