Vapor pressure can be described as: A) the temperature at which bubbles of vapor appear in a liquid. B) the pressure exerted on
1 answer:
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors which are present on the surface of a liquid.
For example, vapor pressure of water at room temperature is 0.0313 atm.
On the other hand, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure is known as boiling point.
For example, boiling point of water at room temperature is .
Thus, we can conclude that vapor pressure can be described as the pressure exerted by a gas above the surface of its liquid.

Answer:
Major product does not undergo oxidation since it is a tertiary alcohol whereas minor product undergoes oxidation to ketone as it is secondary alcohol.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the attached picture, the hydration of the 1 methylcyclohexene yields to alcohols; 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol and 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol. Thus, since the OH in the 1-methylcyclohexan-1-ol (major product) is bonded to a tertiary carbon (bonded with other three carbon atoms) it is not able to increase the number of oxygen bonds (oxidation) as it already attained the octet whereas the 1-methylcyclohexan-2-ol (minor product) is able to undergo oxidation to ketone as the carbon bonded to it is secondary (bonded with other two carbon atoms), so one extra bond the oxygen is allowed to be formed to carbonyl.
Best regards.
