Chapter 23.2, Problem 23.39QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Potassium cyanide is a potent poison that kills by inhibiting electron transport when CN- binds to the Fe3+ in the cytochrome heme groups. Why would this stop electron transport?

Concept introduction:

Electron transport chain (ETC) consists of series of complexes involving transfers of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors. This takes place via redox reactions wherein H+ ions gets transferred through membrane. Cyanide prevent oxygen to bind to the final molecule in the ETC.

Heating an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid will cause a dehydration to occur: the removal of the elements of water from a molecule, forming an alkene. The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile. Further, heating the reaction mixture causes a greater increase in the rate of E1 compared to the rate of S№1. 2nd attempt 0 See Periodic Table See Hint Draw the organic intermediate from the first step (no byproducts) and draw curved arrow(s) to show how it reacts.
