Answer:

The compound a is 1-methyl cyclohexene (see attachment for structure).

Explanation:

The reaction of 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane with sodium methoxide is a <u>second-order reaction</u> since the <u>methoxide ion is a strong base</u> and also a strong nucleophile. This ion attacks the alkyl halide faster than the alkyl halide can ionize to produce a first-order reaction. However, we can not see the product of nucleophilic substitution. The SN₂ mechanism is blocked due to the <u>impediment of the 1-Bromo-1-methylcyclohexane</u>. The main product, according to the Zaitsev rule, is the 1-methyl cyclohexene, thus forming a <u>double bond</u>.

Then, this cyclohexene is hydrogenated to form the cyclohexane.

Why are silver, lead, and mercury so special? (why do they always precipitate out and never dissolve) PLEASE BE DETAILED BUT SIM
lara [203]
Silver and lead are special elements, where silver is insoluble in all halogen anions (like AgCl, AgI, AgBr)
and lead is insoluble in sulphates and halogen anions ( PbSO4, PbCl2, etc.)
Mercury is special because it is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature
hope this helps!!

Describe how the organelles in a cell work together to keep an organism alive​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA. ... All of the cell's organelles must work together to keep the cell healthy.

The reactions of glycolysis occur in the cell's ________; the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the ________.
Reil [10]

Answer:

The reactions of glycolysis occur in the cell's <u>cytoplasm</u>; the reactions of the citric acid cycle occur in the <u>mitochondria</u>.

Explanation:

<em><u>Explanations of some terms</u></em>

Glycolysis

Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol of the cell's cytoplasm. Glycolysis starts when glucose diffuses into a cell through the plasma membrane down its concentration gradient. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway present in all organisms: from yeast to mammals that involves the oxidation of glucose molecules, the single most important organic fuel in plants, and animals to pyruvate with the generation of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide + hydrogen)

Citric acid cycle

Citric acid cycle also known as the Krebs cycle plays a major role in the process of energy production and biosynthesis as it oxidizes glucose derivatives, fatty acids and amino acids to carbon dioxide.

Which molecule has a polar bond, but is nonpolar in nature?
Nataly [62]
The polarity (dipolar moments) of the bonds can be predicted from the difference of electronegativities of the atoms.

To predict the polarity of the entire molecule you have to take into account the geometry of the molecule and the final vector resulting from the addition of all the dipolar moments.

H-O bonds in H2O are highly polar and the molecule is also polar.

C - Cl bonds in CCl4 are highly polar, but the symmetry of the molecule is such the they cancel each other and the molecular is nonpolar.

Answer: CCl4
