The reaction that will be carried out in the lab will convert 9-fluorenol to 9-methoxy fluorene using a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Question: Why is concentrated sulfuric acid used in this reaction and not aqueous acid? Draw the reaction and show the equilibrium that is dependent on the acid.

Write down the aldol condensation between two acetaldehyde molecules. Determine the nucleophile, electrophile and base in the first step
I had written those notes above the nucleophiles, so I am unsure if they are correct.
You were tasked to perform a hydrolysis experiment in your practical laboratory activity. One of the criteria for scoring is speed. You have 3 reagents to choose from: Butyl Iodide, Sec-butyl Iodide, and Ter-butyl Iodide. From these reagents, what is your most and least preferred one? Why?
Please draw the product for the Morita Baylis Hilman reaction and identify the nucleophile and electrophile in the intermediate step. Show all arrowing pushing steps.
Could you please help me with this question? The reaction shown below does not follow the expected theory. Given what you learned about substitution/elimination, what is the expected mechanism this reaction should follow? Suggest why that is not what happens and give the actual product of the reaction.
Draw reaction mechanisms,using curved arrow to show the flow of electrons for the acid- base reactions used to recover and precipitate benzoic acid and m-nitroaniline, indicating on each side of the reactions if the organic compound would be in the aqueous or organic layer. please make your answer neat
Explain why alkylation of an α-carbon works best if the alkyl halide used in the reaction is a primary alkyl halide, and why alkylation does not work at all if a tertiary alkyl halide is used.
Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the aldol or enone below. You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate ion in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.

This is for Aldol Condensation Lab: Why was the acetone the limiting reagent for this lab? What would have likely happened if benzaldehyde was the limiting reagent instead? What is the driving force for this reaction? What physical property also assists in keeping the equilibrium headed towards product? The same physical property that helps drive the reaction to completion can also stall out the reaction before it starts. What do we do in the procedure that helps minimize this concern? What is this reaction classified as?
Can someone please explain how to do this? The question is: Draw the electron-flow arrows that lead from starting materials to products in this acid–base reaction.
Please I need help with this question Based on the experiment- Synthesis of Iodosalicylamide – An Electrophilic AromaticSubstitution (a derivative of benzene, salicylamide was used and substituted an iodine atom onto the ring; the ring is the nucleophile while the atom/molecule that is being substituted onto the ring has anelectrophilic character) Please I need help with this QUESTION: Draw the structure of the final product(s) based on the ATTACHED IR analysis. Also label the signals (both the frequency and molecular motion) that help determine the final product(s). Thanks in advance
