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

Answer:
32.8g/mole
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of sample of gas = 32.8g
Volume = 22.4L
Unknown:
Molecular weight = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem we must understand that at rtp;
1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 22.4L
Number of mole of the gas = 1 mole
Now;
Mass = number of moles x molecular weight
molecular weight = =
= 32.8g/mole
