Answer:

Explanation:

Steroids have two principal biological functions: as important components of cell membranes which alter membrane fluidity; and as signaling molecules. Hundreds of steroids are found in plants, animals and fungi. All steroids are manufactured in cells from the sterols lanosterol (opisthokonts) or cycloartenol (plants).

Construct a three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene by dragging the appropriate formulas into the bins. Note that

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The three-step synthesis of trans-2-pentene from acetylene is as follows.

Step -1: Formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkanes.

Step -2: Formation terminal alkyne to nonterminal alkynes.

Step -3: Formation of trans-pent - 2-pent-ene by reduction.

Explanation:

Synthesis of trans-pent-2-yne from ethyne takes place is mainly a three step synthesis which involves formation of higher order terminal alkyne on reaction with sodium acetylides with haloalkane. Second step involves the further alkylation of terminal alkynes to higher order nonterminal alkynes and the third step involves the formation of trans-2-ene by dissolving reduction method.

The chemical reaction of each step of chemical reactions is as follows.

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____

Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)
