When 2-bromo-2-methylbutane is treated with a base, a mixture of 2-methyl-2-butene and 2-methyl-1-butene is produced. When potassium hydroxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 45% of the product mixture. However, when potassium tert-butoxide is the base, 2-methyl-1-butene accounts for 70% of the product mixture. What percent of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in the mixture if potassium propoxide were the base

The percentage mixture of 2-methyl-1-butene would be in between the 45% and 70%.

Explanation:

Potassium prop oxide is the intermediate base as compared to the potassium hydroxide which is less bulky strong base and potassium tert-butoxide which is bulky base. Bulky base can minimize the substitution reaction by causing hinders the approach of carbon attack and KOH is the strong base which less effective in minimizing the substitution reaction.

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
