Because alcohol protons are reasonably acidic and easily undergo exchange, it is important that the base be matched to the appropriate solvent. explain why it would be virtually impossible to sort out the factors the size of the base or the stability of the alkenes formed if a reaction were carried out using methanol as the solvent and potassium t-butoxide as the base. in your answer draw a mechanism using methanol and tert-butoxide to illustrate your answer.
i don't understand how to do the mechanism at all. but wouldn't the reasoning have to do with methanol being able to produce methoxide

The graph below compares the rates of reaction of a burning candle and an exploding firework. comparing chemical reactions what can you conclude from the graph? the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires less energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs less rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. the reaction that causes a firework to explode requires more energy to start, and occurs more rapidly than the reaction that causes a candle to burn. mark this and return
