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.

Write the electron configuration for N and N-3. How many electrons are in the valence energy level?
Alinara [238K]

Non-valence electrons: 1s22s22p6. Therefore, we write the electron configuration for Na: 1s22s22p63s1. What is the highest principal quantum number that you see in sodium's electron configuration? It's n = 3, so all electrons with n = 3 are valence electrons, and all electrons with n < 3 are non-valence electrons.

Which of the following choices has the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water? (least soluble t
larisa86 [58]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As it is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar compound is able to dissolve only polar compounds.

Hence, a compound that is ionic or polar in nature will readily dissolve in water. Whereas non-polar compounds will be insoluble in water.

As CCl_{4} is a non-polar compound. Hence, it is insoluble in water.

On the other hand, CHCl_{3} is a polar compound due to difference in electronegativity of chlorine and carbon atom there will be development of partial charges. Hence, there will be dipole-dipole forces existing between them.

Whereas NaNO_{3} is an ionic compound and it will readily dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Also, there will be ion-dipole interactions between sodium and nitrate ions.

Hence, NaNO_{3} will readily dissolve in water.

Thus, we can conclude that the compounds correctly arranged in order of increasing solubility in water are CCl_{4} < CHCl_{3} < NaNO_{3}.
