Answer:
average for silk =141"
average for cotton =96"
average for nylon = 70"
if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,
silk is the best
if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,
nylon is the best

Problem Solving
1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in
the table below.
(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.
Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)

3.67 grams is the volume of the solution
Well it's an alkali metal if that's what you're asking<span />
You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.
Answer:
an increase in 1-butene was observed when t-butoxide was used
Explanation:
When a base reacts with an alkyl halide, an elimination product is formed. This reaction is an E2 reaction.
Here we are to compare the reaction of two different bases with one substrate; 2-bromobutane. Both reactions occur by the E2 mechanism but follow different transition states due to the size of the base.
The Saytzeff product, 2-butene, is obtained when the methoxide is used while the non Saytzeff product, 1-butene, is obtained when t-butoxide is used.
The Saytzeff rule is reliable in predicting the major products of simple elimination reactions of alkyl halides given the fact that a small/strong bases is used for the elimination reaction. Therefore hydroxide, methoxide and ethoxide bases give similar results for the same alkyl halide substrate. Bulky bases such as tert-butoxide tend to yield a higher percentage of the non Saytzeff product and this is usually attributed to steric hindrance.
