Which of the following statements applies to the E2 mechanism? Which of the following statements applies to the E2 mechanism? It occurs with inversion of stereochemistry. It occurs with racemization of stereochemistry. The C-H and C-X bonds that break must be anti. Use of a bulky base gives the more highly substituted alkene product. It proceeds through the more stable carbocation intermediate.

Question in order:

Which of the following statements applies to the E2 mechanism?

a. It occurs with inversion of stereochemistry.

b. It occurs with racemization of stereochemistry.

c. The C-H and C-X bonds that break must be anti.

d. Use of a bulky base gives the more highly substituted alkene product.

e. It proceeds through the more stable carbocation intermediate

option c

Explanation:

The reason for the answer is because                                                                                                  

Antiperiplanar orientation will lead to E₂ elimination                                                            

The attached image shows the structural combination equation

"standard molar enthalpy:

h2o ( liquid water ) : - 285.8 kj/mole

h2o ( water vapor ) : - 241.8 kj / mole.

δhrxn = - 241. 8 - ( - 285.8 )= -241.8 + 285.8 = 44.0

answer: 44.0 kj"
