Concept introduction:
The dehydration of alcohols to alkenes in the presence of POCl3 follows E2 mechanism. The –OH group is converted into a better leaving group dichlorophosphate, –OPOCl2, when treated with POCl3. Pyridine used as solvent is also a base and it removes a proton arranged anti to the leaving group from the β carbon (requirement for E2 mechanism). The removal of the proton and –OPOCl2 occurs simultaneously in a single step to yield the alkene as the product.

Calculate the central, upper, and lower control limits for the c-chart and draw the chart precisely on the graph sheet provided (based on 3-sigma limits). Your chart should include a line for each of the control limits (UCL, CL, and LCL) and the points for each observation. Number the x-axis 1 through 25 and evenly space the numbering for the y-axis. Connect the points by drawing a line as well. Label each line drawn.
