First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.

Answer:
Most viscous to least viscous: 
Explanation:
For hydrocarbons, viscosity increases with increasing molar mass. Because increasing molar mass signifies increase in number of electrons in molecules.
We know that in non-polar hydrocarbons, only van der waal intermolecular force exists. Van der waal force is proportional to number of electrons in a molecule.
Therefore with increasing molar mass, van der waal force increases. hence molecules gets more tightly bind with each other resulting increase in viscosity.
Here molar mass order :
Therefore viscosity order :
Yes that’s why we see it in different shapes all the time
Answer:
Δ S = 26.2 J/K
Explanation:
The change in entropy can be calculated from the formula -
Δ S = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ )
Where ,
Δ S = change in entropy
m = mass = 2.00 kg
Cp =specific heat of lead is 130 J / (kg ∙ K) .
T₂ = final temperature 10.0°C + 273 = 283 K
T₁ = initial temperature , 40.0°C + 273 = 313 K
Applying the above formula ,
The change in entropy is calculated as ,
ΔS = m Cp ln ( T₂ / T₁ ) = (2.00 )( 130 ) ln( 283 K / 313 K )
ΔS = 26.2 J/K
