Answer:

The mechanism is E1 and the product is cyclohexene

Explanation:

Attached to this answer is an image of the reaction mechanism of the reaction between cyclohexanol and concentrated sulfuric acid/phosphoric acid. The acid (H3O^+) acts as catalyst.

We can see that the first step in the mechanism is the protonation of the -OH group of the alcohol. This is followed by loss of water molecule which is a good leaving group.

The water now acts as a Lewis base by abstracting a proton from the substrate, forming cyclohexene and regenerating the acid catalyst.

How many moles are in 1.51 x 10^24 molecules of water?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:One mole of HBr has 6.02 x 1

molecules of HBr.

1 mole of HBr = 6.02 x 1

molecules of HBr.-----(a)

X mole of HBr has 1.21 x

molecules of HBr.

X mole of HBr = 1.21 x

molecules of HBr------(b)

Taking ratio of (a) and (b)

X / 1 = 1.21 x

/ 6.02 x 1

X= 2.009 moles.

What is the concentration of the hydroxide ion given that the concentration of the hydronium ion?

Sergio039 [100]

The concentration of the hydroxide ion given that the concentration of the hydronium ion 1.0 times 10^-14 M. The reverse mathematical method used to determine the pOH can be used to get the hydroxide ion concentration from the pOH. How many hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a pOH of 5.70, for instance.

Calculate 10-5.70, or "inverse" log, on a calculator (- 5.70). It indicates that one hydroxide ion is produced by one part of the NaOH solution. Because of this, the molar concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution is the same as the molar concentration of the NaOH.
