Answer:
E 1: cyclohexene
Explanation:
This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;
1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.
2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.
3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.
The loss or gain of electrons
Explanation:
The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.
A cation is a positively charge ion
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:
Protons are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges
Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.
When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.
When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.

Answer:
the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
Explanation:
for the reaction
PCl₅(g) → PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
where
Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 2.0*10¹ M = 20 M
and [A] denote concentrations of A
if initially the mixture is pure PCl₅ , then it will dissociate according to the reaction and since always one mole of PCl₃(g) is generated with one mole of Cl₂(g) , the total number of moles of both at the end is the same → they have the same concentration → [PCl₃(g)] = [Cl₂]=0.27 M
therefore
Kc= [PCl₃]*[Cl₂]/[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M /[PCl₅] = 20 M
[PCl₅] = 0.27 M* 0.27 M / 20 M = 3.64*10⁻³ M
[PCl₅] = 3.64*10⁻³ M
the equilibrium concentration of [PCl₅] is 3.64*10⁻³ M
H2O is a compound. So it's second one.
