For each of these reactions, make a prediction as to which alkene you expect to be the major product, and
which you expect to be the minor product.
The ratio of alkene products for each reaction will be determined using gas chromatography. The alkene
product with the lower boiling point should have the lower retention time. The gas chromatogram will
