Complete the mechanism for the reaction by adding the missing curved arrows, atoms, bonds, charges, and nonbonding electron pairs. note the resonance arrows) in the scheme.

See explanation below

Explanation:

In picture 1 attached, we have the starting structure. In picture 2, you have the answer for this.

Basically this is an acid base reaction to promove then, a condensation of the molecule.

In the first step, the carbonile substract a H atom from the HCl. Then, by resonance the OH+, pass the charge to the carbon, which is tertiary and can be easily stabilized. Now, after this, the Chlorine substract an Hydrogen to get a double bond on the carbon with the charge, and this be stable. Now, a second molecule of benzaldehyde reacts with this, so we can have a condensation product.

See picture 2 for complete mechanism.

with this one i know the answer in craters one reason i looked it up and i learned about it there is my evidence

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
