What statements are true in this question?

Consider how 3-Bromopentane reacts with OH鈭?to give 2-pentene. Write the balanced reaction. Based on the reaction you wrote, which of the following are true statements ?





a) 3-Bromopentane acts as a base in this reaction.





b) The hydoxide ion acts as a base in this reaction.





c) A byproduct of this reaction is Br2.





d) Br鈭?anions are produced in this reaction.





e) One mole of 3-bromopentane reacts with two moles of OH鈭?in this reaction.





f) This is a substitution reactionWhat statements are true in this question?
B, D are true.


A is not true because 3-bromopentane actually acts as an ACID in this reaction. C is not true because Br- is formed instead of Br2. E is not true because one mole of 3-bromopentane reacts with ONE mole of OH-.





Hope this helps.
