Elimination of HBr from 2-bromobutane affords a mixture of but-1-ene and but-2-ene. With sodium ethoxide as base, but2-ene constitutes 81% of the alkene products, but with potassium tert-butoxide, but-2-ene constitutes only 67% of the alkene products. Offer an explanation for this difference.

(a) Similar to alkanes, hydrogen gas can undergo radical bromination according to the reaction
below. Propose a chain-reaction mechanism for this reaction, including an initiation step, propagation
steps, and two plausible termination steps. The homolytic bond dissociation energy for Br-Br is 46
kcal·mole', for H-Br is 88 kcal'mole and for H-H is 104 kcal'mole'.
hv
H-H + Br-Br
2 H-Br
(b) Calculate the overall AH for the above propagation steps (show all work).
why do (R)-3-chloro-1-methylcycloprop-1-ene and 5-Bromo-1,3-Cyclohexadiene react differently with cyanide (why doesn't cyanide pass through its usual mechanism for these two products and what did you obtain these specific products)
