Answer:

It isn't only for the eating habits but also for building nests, hunting small insects, birds, other creatures including defence. Birds have a narrow small throat so the beak helps ripping off small peices of a big animal l(small bird) and for insects they crush and swallow it, they se their beak for feeding their children by grinding food in their beak and transferring it to the youngsters mouth

Comparing the 2-bromobutane + methoxide and 2-bromobutane + t-butoxide reactions, choose the statements that BEST describe the d

Elina [12.6K]

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.

Sighting along the C2-C3 bond of 2-methylbutane, the least stable conformation (Newman projection) has a total energy strain of

natima [27]

Answer:

21 KJ/mol

Explanation:

For this question, we have to start with the linear structure of 2-methylbutane. With the linear structure, we can start to propose all the Newman projections keep it in mind that the point of view is between carbons 2 and 3 (see figure 1).

Additionally, we have several energy values for each interaction present in the Newman structures:

-) Methyl-methyl gauche: 3.8 KJ/mol

-) Methyl-H eclipse: 6.0 KJ/mol

-) Methyl-methyl eclipse: 11.0 KJ/mol

-) H-H eclipse: 4.0 KJ/mol

Now, we can calculate the energy for each molecule.

Molecule A

In this molecule, we have 2 Methyl-methyl gauche interactions only, so:

(3.8x2) = 7.6 KJ/mol

Molecule B

In this molecule, we have a Methyl-methyl eclipse interaction a Methyl-H eclipse interaction and an H-H eclipse interaction, so:

(11)+(6)+(4) = 21 KJ/mol

Molecule C

In this molecule, we have 1 Methyl-methyl gauche interaction only, so:

3.8 KJ/mol

Molecule D

In this molecule, we have three Methyl-H eclipse interaction, so:

(6*3) = 18 KJ/mol

Molecule E

In this molecule, we have 1 Methyl-methyl gauche interaction only, so:

3.8 KJ/mol

Molecule F

In this molecule, we have a Methyl-methyl eclipse interaction a Methyl-H eclipse interaction and an H-H eclipse interaction, so:

(11)+(6)+(4) = 21 KJ/mol

The structures with higher energies would be less stable. In this case, structures B and F with an energy value of 21 KJ/mol (see figure 2).

I hope it helps!
