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.
The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.
The answer to this problem is quite simple, it’s 9
Answer:
6750 J
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of iron is 450 J/kg/K
Quantity of heat = mcθ; where m is the mass and c is the specific heat capacity and θ is the temperature change.
Therefore;
m = 3 kg, c = 450 J/kg/K and θ = 5°C
Quantity of heat = 3 × 450 × 5
<u>= 6150 Joules</u>
