Interpretation:
For the given E2 elimination reaction, two bases shown, A and B, are to be matched with their respective rate constants according to their pKa values.
Concept introduction:
Higher the pKa value, the weaker the acid and stronger its conjugate base.
As the strength of base increases, it will abstract an acidic proton more rapidly.
An E2 reaction is a single step, bimolecular reaction involving both the substrate and the base. Since the deprotonation and the departure of the leaving group occur simultaneously, the

- 3. Carbonic anhydrase has two substrates, carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, which are both converted to carbonic acid. Kinetic data for each is given below. While determining the kinetics of HCO3 as a substrate, how would the addition of CO2 effect the reaction if the rate were measured by the disappearance of bicarbonate?

- Consider the following elimination reaction. CH3 H CH3 CH3 slow Cl step (-CH) CH3 CH2 Base c=CH2 E1 -(H-Base) + CH3 CH3 CH3 The experimental data obtained clearly displayed that the reaction exhibited first order kinetics, and therefore was determined to follow a unimolecular elimination (E1) reaction pathway. Draw a fully labelled energy profile diagram that clearly shows each step in the reaction. Assume the reaction is an exothermic reaction.

Draw two possible mechanisms for the reaction run in H182OH218O. Trace the progress of the 180180 'label' throughout each mechanism to see where it ends up: this should indicate to you how the two mechanisms could be (and in fact were!) distinguished experimentally.
