Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The following conversion should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
A catalyst is the molecule which is used to speed up the chemical reaction, not being consumed within the procedure. Acids are used as catalysts are needed for an acid catalyzed hydration.
A dehydration reaction is aeration when any organic substance loses the water molecule to form an
(b)
Interpretation:
The following conversion should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical reaction is the procedure to transform the chemical substance in the new substance. During this procedure sometimes, acid is involved which is the substance which could either accept electron pairs or donate protons in the reactions.
A catalyst is the molecule which is used to speed up the chemical reaction, not being consumed within the procedure. Acids are used as catalysts are needed for an acid catalyzed hydration.
A dehydration reaction is aeration when any organic substance loses the water molecule to form an alkene.
