Question
**Question 10:**

Which of the following reactions features the greatest \( k_H/k_D \)? \( k_H \) is the reaction rate constant when all the hydrogen atoms in the organic reactant are \(^1H\) while \( k_D \) is the reaction rate constant with all the hydrogen atoms in the organic reactant replaced by D (\(^2H\)).

**Reactions:**

1. **Reaction A:**
   - Reactant: Ter-butyl alcohol (\( \text{OH} \))
   - Reagents: \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \), heat
   - Product: Isobutylene

2. **Reaction B:**
   - Reactant: Ter-butyl alcohol (\( \text{OH} \))
   - Reagents: \( \text{HCl} \), heat
   - Product: Ter-butyl chloride

3. **Reaction C:**
   - Reactant: Cyclohexanol (\( \text{OH} \))
   - Reagents: \( \text{HCl} \), heat
   - Product: Chlorocyclohexane

4. **Reaction D:**
   - Reactant: 1-Chloropentane (\( \text{Cl} \))
   - Reagents: \( \text{NaI} \)
   - Product: 1-Iodopentane

5. **Reaction E:**
   - Reactant: Cyclohexanol (\( \text{OH} \))
   - Reagents: \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \), heat
   - Product: Cyclohexene

**Note:**
The reactions involve substitution and elimination processes, and the \( k_H/k_D \) ratio indicates the kinetic isotope effect, reflecting the influence of hydrogen versus deuterium on the reaction rate.
