### Reaction Mechanisms and Product Prediction

#### Introduction
Examine which product (or products) would be expected from each of the following reactions. For each reaction, identify the mechanism (SN1, SN2, E1, or E2) by which the product is formed and predict the relative amount of each product (i.e., determining the major and minor products).

#### Reactions

(a) **Reaction:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Br} + \text{CH}_3\text{O}^{-} \xrightarrow[50°C]{\text{CH}_3\text{OH}} \]
- **Reactants:** Bromobutane and Methoxide ion
- **Conditions:** 50°C in methanol

(b) **Reaction:**
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Br} + (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{CO}^{-} \xrightarrow[50°C]{(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{COH}} \]
- **Reactants:** Bromobutane and Tert-butoxide ion
- **Conditions:** 50°C in tert-butanol

(c) **Reaction:**
\[ (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{CO}^{-} + \text{CH}_3\text{I} \xrightarrow[50°C]{(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{COH}} \]
- **Reactants:** Tert-butoxide ion and Iodomethane
- **Conditions:** 50°C in tert-butanol

(d) **Reaction:**
\[ (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{C}\text{Cl} + \text{CH}_3\text{O}^{-} \xrightarrow[50°C]{\text{CH}_3\text{OH}} \]
- **Reactants:** Tert-butyl chloride and Methoxide ion
- **Conditions:** 50°C in methanol

(e) **Reaction:**
\[ \text{Cyclohexyl iodide} + \text{CH}_3\text{O}^{-} \xrightarrow[50°C]{\text{CH}_3\text{OH}} \]
- **React
