If an alkene is protonated and the solvent is an alcohol rather than water, a reaction takes place that is very similar to acid-catalyzed hydration, but in the second step of the mechanism the alcohol functions as a nucleophile instead of water. Propose a plausible mechanism for this reaction.

Answerd. may include all of these are many definitions of bases: the  brønsted-lowry definition of acids and bases says that bases are proton acceptors.the arrhenius definition of acids and bases says that bases increase [oh⁻] in solution (thereby producing oh⁻ ions)the lewis definition of acids and bases says that bases donate electron pairs.therefore, the sensible answer is that a base may include all of the described characteristics.

Answer    "a salt" would be the best answerexplanationsalts can be defined as ionic compounds that are neither acids nor bases. nacl is an example of a salt, and its ionic.an enzyme is an organic compound which is covalently bonded, not ionically bonded.acids are generally held together by covalent bondsan element does not need any bonds to exist
