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.

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

after a chemistry student made a AgNO3(small 3 at bottom) solution., she wanted to determine the molar concentration of it. if 2

Alexxandr [17]

Molar concentration = (numbet of mol Solute)/ ( volume Solution)

1) Finding
the number of the mol solute

$22.0 g AgNO3 * \frac{1 mol AgNO3}{169.91 g AgNO3} = 0.129 mol AgNO3

2) 725 ml = 0.725 L


$

$3) Molarity = \frac{number/ mol/solute}{Volume/solution} = \frac{0.129}{0.725} 

$

$Molarity= \frac{0.178 mol}{L} , 

or 0.178 M
