Question
Hydrobromic acid, HBr, would be a poorly-chosen substitute for phosphoric acid, H3PO4, in an E1
elimination reaction with 2-methyl cyclohexanol because:
a)
it only eliminates via an E2 mechanism
b) it is a strong acid
c) it is not bulky and therefore facilitates an S1 reaction
d) it is not bulky and therefore facilitates an S2 reaction
Question 4
In a "first-order" reaction:
a) there is only one reactant
Ob) there is only one reactant in the slowest elementary step
c) the molar coefficients of all reactants are always one
