First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.
Answer:
Explanation:
Calcium is all around us. The average human contains approximately 1kg of calcium, of which 99% is stored in our bones. It is the 5th most abundant element in the earth's crust, occurring widely as calcium carbonate which is more commonly known as limestone. It is also the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater.
The answer is Strontium(Sr). The reactive increase from right to left. And this element has two valence electrons. So Rb is not correct. Then the very reactive metal is Sr.
Answer:
3 salad = 3 lettuce + 6 tomatoes + 9 three carrots
Coefficients: 3, 6, 9
Explanation:
1 salad = 1 lettuce + 2 tomatoes + 3 three carrots
<em>Multiply all the coefficients of 1 salad by 3:</em>
3(1 salad) = 3(1 lettuce + 2 tomatoes + 3 three carrots)
<em>Expand the equation:</em>
3 salad = 3 lettuce + 6 tomatoes + 9 three carrots
The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.
The explanation :
when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy
and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.
∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.
