Question

For the following questions. see the reaction below: a) Provide a reasonable mechanism for this reaction. Be sure to push arrows to show the flow of electrons. What is the rate determining step in this mechanism? If only 0.2 equivalence of sulfuric acid is used in this reaction, would it still processed to completion? Explain your answer. In the dehydration of cyclohexanol, what step was most important in maximizing product formation? In this lab, you performed two confirmatory tests for alkenes. Describe these tests and what constitutes a positive result.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 2 - In the dehydration of cyclohexanol , this reaction is carried out in 3 steps as it is a elimination reaction certain compound is to be eliminated. so wo find out the rate of the rreaction me must know the rate determining step which is the most important in product formation hence it also results in maximizing the product. Rate determing step of this reaction is removal of leaving group that is water and leving behind a carbocation . ,
