Because alcohol protons are reasonably acidic and easily undergo exchange, it is important that the base be matched to the appro

priate solvent. Explain why it would be virtually impossible to sort out the factors the size of the base or the stability of the alkenes formed if a reaction were carried out using methanol as the solvent and potassium t-butoxide as the base. In your answer draw a mechanism using methanol and tert-butoxide to illustrate your answer.
I don't understand how to do the mechanism at all. but wouldn't the reasoning have to do with methanol being able to produce methoxide

Potassium tert-butoxide is used to make alkenes by an elimination reaction that does not follow Zaitsev's rule. The compound dissociates into its ionic form, potassium ion and t-butoxide ion. The t-butoxide ion reacts with a haloalkane. Methanol is fairly acidic and it will also dissociate into hydronium and methoxide ions. The methoxide ion will react with the haloalkene and produce a Zaitsev alkene making it difficult to perform the analysis.

Which characteristics describe the troposphere? Check all that apply. is the innermost later, contains the ozone layer, has the
enot [183]

The correct answers are:

- <em>is the innermost layer;</em>

The troposphere is the first layer of the Earth's atmosphere, thus it is the innermost one of all. This is the layer which enables life on our planet, and its composition is just the right one that life on Earth can thrive.

- <em>has the highest air pressure;</em>

Because this layer has the biggest density of all layers, which practically means that it has the most molecules per area, so it is the richest with gasses, this layer has the highest air pressure. The more gasses there are in a layer, the heavier it is, thus it has bigger air pressure.
