Answer:
A. MeONa
Explanation:
One of the methods to prepare alkenes are eliminations.
The E2 reaction (for elimination, bimolecular) occurs when an alkyl halide is treated with a strong base, such as hydroxide ion or alkoxide ion (RO⁻).
It is the most common mechanism that occurs for an elimination.
The methoxide ion is a strong base that will attack the neighboring hydrogen of the halide ion and will start removing H⁺ at the same time that the double bond of the alkene begins to form and the group X begins to leave.
Then, the neutral alkene is produced when the C – H link and X group has left with the electron pair of the bond C – X (mechanism in attachment).
Therefore, MeONa would be an appropiate reagent.

Answer:
325mg of Aspririn
Explanation:
First you should note the information that the problem gives you:
- The bottle of Aspirin has 5gr (grains)
- 1gr(grain) = 65mg (miligrams)
Also, the problem is asking about how many aspirin are in 5 gr (grains), so you should use a conversion factor, as follows:
-First you should put the quantity you need to convert:
-Then you write the denominator of the conversion factor that must have the same units that you want to convert, in this case gr:
-Then you write the numerator with the units that you want to obtain and the numerical equivalence between the units, in this case:
-Finally you multiply numerators and divide by denominators:
