Answer:but-1-ene

Explanation:This is an E2 elimination reaction .

Kindly refer the attachment for complete reaction and products.

Sodium tert-butoxide is a bulky base and hence cannot approach the substrate 2-chlorobutane from the more substituted end and hence major product formed here would not be following zaitsev rule of elimination reaction.

Sodium tert-butoxide would approach from the less hindered side that is through the primary centre and hence would lead to the formation of 1-butene .The major product formed in this reaction would be 1-butene .

As the mechanism of the reaction is E-2 so it will be a concerted mechanism and as sodium tert-butoxide will start abstracting the primary hydrogen through the less hindered side simultaneously chlorine will start leaving. As the steric repulsion in this case is less hence the transition state is relatively stabilised and leads to the formation of a kinetic product 1-butene.

Kinetic product are formed when reactions are dependent upon rate and not on thermodynamical stability.

2-butene is more thermodynamically6 stable as compared to 1-butene  

The major product formed does not follow the zaitsev rule of forming a more substituted alkene as sodium tert-butoxide cannot approach to abstract the secondary proton due to steric hindrance.

Answer:

They are averages.

Explanation:

atomic numbers on periodic tables are derived from the average value of all the isotopes of the element. So being averages they are sometimes not integers.

A force of 25 newtons is exerted over an area of 50 square meters. Calculate
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

the pressure exerted in pascals is 0.5 Pa

Explanation:

The computation of the pressure exerted in pascals is shown below:

As we know that

Pressure = force ÷ area

= 25 ÷ 50

= 0.5 Pa

Hence, the pressure exerted in pascals is 0.5 Pa

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct pressure could come
