1 answer:
Answer:
Two possible compounds are shown below- one with an exocyclic double bond and another one with an endocyclic double bond
Explanation:
Reaction of alkene with gives a complex of mercurous ion.
Then water molecule attacks this complex through type reaction at more substituted position.
cleaves the resultant C-Hg bond and forms a C-H bond.
Two possible structures of an alkene is possible to yield 1-methylcyclohexanol which are shown below.

Answer is: B because it has a lower activation energy.
For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start), activation energy for reaction B is lower that for reaction A.
Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst.
Chemical reactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.
