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:
Explanation:
It may not make any difference. The information missing is the radius of the planet.
However for the purposes of the question, let us assume that it is roughly the same diameter of the earth. Then the weight of anyone would increase if the mass is all that changes..
The formula governing your weight is F = G * m1 *m2 / r^2. If m1 is the mass of the planet and it increases a lot then m2 (you) should increase. The question is done by a proportion.
You take the grams of CO₂ times Avogadro's number divided by the molar mass.
