Try to sound out the words ! :)
Explanation:
solid, liquids and gases are all made up of atoms and molecules
contrast
solids have a definite shape, liquids takes the shape of the container that contains it while gases do not have a shape
solids move about their mean positions, liquids move more freely while gases move in random motion
solids cannot be easily compressed, liquids can be compressed while gases can be easily compressed
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:
C
Explanation:
radiation from the sun first warms the outer atmosphere (trophosphere)
convection(aka just heat moving through gas or liquid) brings the warmth down lower
conduction heats the ground
gl lol :))
D has a total of four significant figures.
