Answer:

Explanation:

A reaction that is exothermic and causes a decrease in the entropy of the system cannot be a spontaneous reaction. This is not totally true because naturally For a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe (system plus surroundings) must increase. This is the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The system entropy can decrease as long as the entropy of the surroundings increases enough to make the sum of the system and surroundings positive.

And we know that a spontaneous reaction is a reaction that occurs in a given set of conditions without intervention. Spontaneous reactions are accompanied by an increase in overall entropy or disorder. If the Gibbs Free Energy is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous, and if it is positive, then it is nonspontaneous.

Which isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster when refluxed with potassium tert-butoxide?Draw the structure of t

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The reaction of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane with potassium tert-butoxide is an elimination reaction that occurs by E2 mechanism.

The E2 reaction proceeds faster when the hydrogens are in an antiperiplanar position at an angle of 180 degrees.

This is only attainable in the trans isomer of 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane. Hence trans 1-bromo-2-tert-butylcyclohexane reacts faster with potassium tert-butoxide
