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.
Answer:
B. Poor conductor.
Explanation:
It cannot be A, as only 1 metal is not solid at room temp.
It cannot be C, as most metals are ductile.
It cannot be D, as most metals are malleable.
This leaves B, which is not true about metals, as a lot are very good conductors.
