Answer:
Explanation:
The equation is given as:
CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O
This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:
Step 1:
Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps
Step 2:
Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)
Step 3:
As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.
The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.
Step 4:
An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.
Step 5:
Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.
Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below
Answer:
Explanation:
Our 
sample yielded 1g of 
and 16g of 
, but our unknown sample yielded 2 times as much for the same amount of .
What does this mean? that the H:O proportion for the unknown sample is twice the H:O proportion for the sample.
What is the H:O proportion for the sample? As we can see from its formula, it's 1:1, therefore the proportion for the unknown formula must be 2:1.
That means, two H atoms for every O atom. We could write that as: 
and you should recognize that formula, for it is one of the most common compounds on earth, Water.

The correct answer is 13 I just did it bro
<span>the one that is not a factor that contribute to natural selection is : Population stability
population refer to the capability of a community to maintain its total amount of organisms within a specific period of time.
This has nothing to do with natural selection, which basically a nature's way to reduce the number of organism to findout which organisms are more adaptive</span>
