1. the elimination experiment performed in lab this week called for the use of koh and potassium tert-butoxide as the bases forming two possible products.

would the expected result be different if we use potassium tert-butoxide vs koh as the base? explain your answer.

2. the elimination reaction you performed in lab was also studied by other researchers to examine the alkene distribution using bulky vs. non-bulky base.
perform a literature search to find a paper that used the exact same starting material. print the first page of the paper and give the following information from the paper.

what were the two bases used with 2-bromo-2-methylbutane? what was the distribution of the alkene products?

3. predict the major elimination product of the following reaction, support your answer by showing the mechanism of the reaction.

alfred von schlieffen, german army chief of staff, was given instructions to devise a strategy that would be able to counter a joint attack. in december, 1905, he began circulating what later became known as the schlieffen plan. schlieffen argued that if war took place it was vital that france was speedily defeated.

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

consider the reaction below.

 no rx

at 500 k, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations.

[pci5]= 0.0095 m

[pci3] = 0.020

[ci2] = 0.020 m

what is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction?

0.042

0.42
