Propose a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of cyclohexanone dimethyl acetal. (Remember that this reaction is reversible, so each step in the hydrolysis is the same as the acetal synthesis, only in reverse.)

The proposed mechanism is shown on the first uploaded image

Explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
