To determine: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid.
Interpretation: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The
In acid-catalyzed dehydration, a saturated compound is converted to an unsaturated compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.
(b)
To determine: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid.
Interpretation: The product and the mechanism of the dehydration of the given alcohol if it is heated in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction: The chemical reaction that consists of an alkyl halide, a good leaving group, reacts with Lewis base to form an alkene is termed as elimination reaction. In this reaction there is complete removal of the leaving group without any substitution.

- 7. Draw the Lewis structures and molecular orbital diagrams for CO and NO. What are their bond orders? Are the molecular orbital diagrams similar to their Lewis structures? Explain. CO Lewis Structure NO Lewis Structure CO Bond Order NO Bond Order NO Molecular Orbital Diagram CO Molecular Orbital Diagramarrow_forward5. The existence of compounds of the noble gases was once a great surprise and stimulated a great deal of theoretical work. Label the molecular orbital diagram for XeF (include atom chemical symbol, atomic orbitals, and molecular orbitals) and deduce its ground state electron configuration. Is XeF likely to have a shorter bond length than XeF+? Bond Order XeF XeF+arrow_forward6. Draw the molecular orbital diagram shown to determine which of the following is paramagnetic. B22+ B22+, B2, C22, B22 and N22+ Molecular Orbital Diagram B2 C22- B22- N22+ Which molecule is paramagnetic?arrow_forward
