(a)
Interpretation:
The effect in the rate of given reaction if the concentration of tert-butyl bromide and sodium ethoxide are doubled should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Tertiary substrates and strong non-bulky bases favors concerted pathway in elimination reaction, which is E2 reaction.
E2 reaction is a bimolecular elimination reaction in which only one step involving and both the substrate and base are depends upon the
Equation for the rate of E2 reaction is,
To explain: the effect in rate of given reaction if the concentration of tert-butyl bromide and sodium ethoxide are doubled.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect in the rate of given reaction if the concentration of tert-butyl bromide and sodium ethoxide are doubled should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Tertiary substrates and strong non-bulky bases favors concerted pathway in elimination reaction, which is E2 reaction.
E2 reaction is a bimolecular elimination reaction in which only one step involving and both the substrate and base are depends upon the rate of reaction. Because in a bimolecular reaction, there should involves two chemical entities.
Equation for the rate of E2 reaction is,
To explain: the effect in rate of given reaction if the concentration of tert-butyl bromide and sodium ethoxide are doubled.
