Answer: Water inside the seed coat creating a pushing force, breaking the seed coat.

Explanation:

Seed germination can be defined as the process by which a new plant emerge out from a seed. The radicle is the first emerging part from a seed and it develops into a root and the plumule is the second emerging part and it develops into a shoot. The light, water, adequate temperature, and soil are the factors that are necessary for seed germination.

According to a given situation, the popcorn kernel will receive the moisture necessary for the germination process, the water will imbibe into the seed coat creating pressure inside the seed and which will cause the seed coat to break and the new plant parts or seedling will emerge out of the seed coat.

When hexan-1-ol is treated with conc. h2so4 at moderate temperatures, ________ is formed via a(n) ________ mechanism
natita [175]

When hexan-1-ol is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperatures, Di-n-hexyl ether is formed via SN₂ mechanism.

SN₂ Mechanism is mechanism involving the factors of steric hindrance following the order of 1° > 2° > 3°. It is a Nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Williamson Ether Synthesis is the synthesis of ether through SN₂ mechanism in which an ether is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperature.

When hexan-1-ol is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperatures, Di-n-hexyl ether is formed as below:

CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH +Conc. H₂SO₄-->(CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂0

Hexan-1-ol                                                                 Di-n-hexyl ether

Williamson Ether Synthesis is a reaction involving a alcohol that is deprotonated to form an ether.
